Views
IPv6 PIM view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
limit: Sets the maximum number of RPs in IPv6 BIDIR-PIM, in the range of 1 to 32.
Usage guidelines
In an IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain, one DF election per RP is implemented on all IPv6 PIM-enabled interfaces.
To avoid unnecessary DF elections, HP recommends not configuring multiple RPs for BIDIR-PIM.
This configuration sets a limit on the number of IPv6 BIDIR-PIM RPs. If the number of RPs exceeds the limit,
excess RPs do not take effect and can be used only for DF election rather than IPv6 multicast data
forwarding.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of IPv6 BIDIR RPs to 3 on the public network.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ipv6 pim
[Sysname-pim6] bidir-rp-limit 3
