Enabling BFD for IPv6 PIM
IPv6 PIM uses hello messages to elect a DR for a shared-media network. The elected DR is the only
multicast forwarder on the shared-media network.
If the DR fails, a new DR election process will start after the DR is aged out. However, it might take a long
period of time before other routers detect the link failures and trigger a new DR election. To start a new
DR election process immediately after the original DR fails, you can enable BFD for IPv6 PIM on a
shared-media network to detect link failures.
You must enable BFD for IPv6 PIM on all IPv6 PIM-capable routers on a shared-media network. For more
information about BFD, see High Availability Configuration Guide.
Before you configure this feature on an interface, be sure to enable IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SM on the
interface.

Enabling SNMP notifications for IPv6 PIM
When the SNMP notification feature is enabled, IPv6 PIM generates notifications if important IPv6 PIM
events occur. The notifications are sent to the SNMP module. The output rules for PIM notifications
depend on the SNMP notification configuration.
For more information about SNMP notifications, see Network Management and Monitoring
Configuration Guide.
