Enabling IPv6 multicast routing
Enable IPv6 multicast routing before you configure any Layer 3 IPv6 multicast functionality in the
public network or VPN instance.
To enable IPv6 multicast routing:
Step

1.
Enter system view.

N/A
2.
Enable IPv6 multicast
routing and enter IPv6 MRIB
view.

Configuring IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding
Before you configure IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain can interoperate at
the network layer.
•
Configure IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SM.
Specifying the longest prefix match principle
You can enable the device to use the longest prefix match principle for RPF route selection. For more
information about RPF route selection, see "

By default, the route preference
principle is used.
Configuring IPv6 multicast load splitting
You can enable the device to split multiple IPv6 multicast data flows on a per-source basis or on a
per-source-and-group basis.
