Configuring IPv6 PIM
This section describes using Alcatel-Lucent’s Command Line Interface (CLI) command to complete the
following steps to configure PIM in an IPv6 environment:
•
Enabling/disabling IPv6 PIM on a specific interface
•
Enabling/disabling IPv6 PIM mode on the switch
•
IPv6 PIM Bootstrap and RP Discovery
•
Configuring a C-RP for IPv6 PIM
•
Configuring Candidate Bootstrap Routers (C-BSRs) for IPv6 PIM
•
Configuring static RP groups for IPv6 PIM
•
Configuring RP-switchover for IPv6 PIM
Enabling IPv6 PIM on a Specific Interface
IPv6 PIM must be enabled on an interface using the
ipv6 pim interface
command. An interface can be
any IPv6 router interface that has been assigned to an existing VLAN. For information on assigning a
router interface to a VLAN, refer to the “Configuring IPv6” chapter in the
OmniSwitch AOS Release 7
Network Configuration Guide.
To enable PIM on a specific IPv6 interface, use the
ipv6 pim interface
command. The interface identifier
used in the command syntax is the valid interface name of an existing IPv6 VLAN router interface. For
example:
-> ipv6 pim interface vlan-2
Disabling IPv6 PIM on a Specific Interface
To disable PIM on a specific IPv6 interface, use the
no ipv6 pim interface
command. Be sure to include
the name of the interface. For example:
-> no ipv6 pim interface vlan-2
Viewing IPv6 PIM Status and Parameters for a Specific Interface
To view the current IPv6 PIM interface information—which includes IPv6 addresses for PIM-enabled
interfaces, Hello and Join/Prune intervals, and current operational status—use the
show ipv6 pim inter-
face
command. For example:
-> show ipv6 pim interface
Interface Name Designated Hello Join/Prune Oper
Router Interval Interval Status
--------------------+--------------------------+--------+----------+---------
vlan-5 fe80::2d0:95ff:feac:a537 30 60 enabled
vlan-30 fe80::2d0:95ff:feac:a537 30 60 disabled
vlan-40 fe80::2d0:95ff:fee2:6eec 30 60 enabled
Enabling IPv6 PIM Mode on the Switch
To globally enable IPv6 PIM-Sparse Mode on the switch, use the
ipv6 pim sparse admin-state
command. Enter the command syntax as shown below:
