Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM
Because IPV6 BIDIR-PIM is implemented on the basis of IPv6 PIM-SM, you must enable IPv6 PIM-SM
before enabling IPV6 BIDIR-PIM. To deploy an IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain, enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-
border interfaces of the domain.
Follow these steps to enable IPv6 PIM-SM:
To do... Use the command... Remarks
Enter system view

—
Enable IPv6 multicast routing multicast ipv6 routing-enable
Required
Disabled by default.
Enter interface view

Required
Disabled by default.
CAUTION:
ll interfaces of the same device must work in the same IPv6 PIM mode.
NOTE:

Enabling IPv6 BIDIR-PIM
Perform this configuration on all routers in the IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain.

Configuring an RP
An RP can be manually configured or dynamically elected through the BSR mechanism. For a large IPv6
PIM network, static RP configuration is a tedious job. Generally, static RP configuration is just a backup
means for the dynamic RP election mechanism to enhance the robustness and operation manageability
of a multicast network.
