RP or the RP dynamically calculated based on the BSR mechanism. Thus, the DR does not need to
know the RP address beforehand.
Perform this configuration on all routers in the IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain.
To enable embedded RP:
Step Command Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter IPv6 PIM view.
pim ipv6
N/A
3.
Enable embedded RP.
embedded-rp
[
acl6-number
]
Optional.
By default, embedded RP is enabled for
IPv6 multicast groups in the default
embedded RP address scopes.
The default embedded RP address scopes
are FF7x::/12 and FFFx::/12, where x refers
to any legal address scope. For more
information about the Scope field, see
"
Multicast overview ."
Configuring C-RP timers globally
To enable the BSR to distribute the RP-Set information within the IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain, C-RPs
must periodically send C-RP-Adv messages to the BSR. The BSR learns the RP-Set information
from the received messages, and encapsulates its own IPv6 address together with the RP-Set
information in its bootstrap messages. The BSR then floods the bootstrap messages to all IPv6
routers in the network.
Each C-RP encapsulates a timeout value in its C-RP-Adv messages. After receiving a C-RP-Adv
message, the BSR obtains this timeout value and starts a C-RP timeout timer. If the BSR fails to hear
a subsequent C-RP-Adv message from the C-RP when the timer times out, the BSR assumes the
C-RP to have expired or become unreachable.
The C-RP timers must be configured on C-RP routers.
To configure C-RP timers globally:
Step Command Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter IPv6 PIM view.
pim ipv6
N/A
3.
Configure the C-RP-Adv
interval.
c-rp advertisement-interval
interval
Optional.
60 seconds by default.
4.
Configure C-RP timeout
timer.
c-rp holdtime interval
Optional.
150 seconds by default.
For more information about the configuration of other timers in IPv6 PIM-SM, see " Configuring
common IPv6 PIM timers ."
Configuring a BSR
An IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain can have only one BSR, but must have at least one C-BSR. Any router
can be configured as a C-BSR. Elected from C-BSRs, the BSR collects and advertises RP
information in the IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain.
