Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure IPv6 BIDIR-PIM, configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices
in the domain can interoperate at the network layer.
Enabling IPv6 BIDIR-PIM
Because IPv6 BIDIR-PIM is implemented on the basis of IPv6 PIM-SM, you must enable IPv6
PIM-SM before enabling IPv6 BIDIR-PIM. As a best practice, enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border
interfaces on routers when you deploy an IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain.
IMPORTANT:
All interfaces on a device must be enabled with the same IPv6 PIM mode.
