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

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.
