Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure IPv6 PIM-SM, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
domain are interoperable at the network layer.
•
Determine the IP address of a static RP and the ACL rule defining the range of IPv6 multicast
groups to be served by the static RP.
•
Determine the C-RP priority and the ACL rule defining the range of IPv6 multicast groups to be
served by each C-RP.
•
Determine the legal C-RP address range and the ACL rule defining the range of IPv6 multicast
groups to be served.
•
Determine the C-RP-Adv interval.
•
Determine the C-RP timeout timer.
•
Determine the C-BSR priority.
•
Determine the hash mask length.
•
Determine the IPv6 ACL rule defining a legal BSR address range.
•
Determine the BS period.
•
Determine the BS timeout timer.
•
Determine the IPv6 ACL rule for register message filtering.
•
Determine the register suppression time.
•
Determine the register probe time.
•
Determine the IPv6 ACL rule and sequencing rule for disabling switchover to SPT.
Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM
With IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, a router sends hello messages periodically to discover IPv6 PIM
neighbors and processes messages from the IPv6 PIM neighbors. When you deploy an IPv6
PIM-SM domain, enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of the routers.
All the interfaces of the same device must be configured with the same IPv6 PIM mode.
