Configuring RP-Switchover for IPv6 PIM
You can configure an RP to attempt switching to native forwarding upon receiving the first register-encap-
sulated packet from the source DR in the IPv6 PIM domain. For example:
-> ipv6 pim rp-switchover enable
The above command enables the RP to switch to native forwarding.
-> ipv6 pim rp-switchover disable
The above command disables the RP from switching to native forwarding.
You cannot specify a pre-configured threshold, such as the RP threshold, as you would do for IPv4 PIM.
Verifying RP-Switchover
To view the status of the RP-switchover capability, use the
show ipv6 pim sparse
command.
-> show ipv6 pim sparse
