Configure IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SSM.
Configuring an IPv6 multicast source policy
This feature enables the device to filter IPv6 multicast data by using an ACL that specifies the IPv6
multicast sources and the optional groups. It filters not only IPv6 multicast data packets but also IPv6
PIM register messages with IPv6 multicast data encapsulated. This also reduces the IPv6 multicast
traffic on the network.
To configure an IPv6 multicast source policy:
Step
Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter IPv6 PIM view.
ipv6 pim
[
vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
]
N/A
3.
Configure an IPv6 multicast
source policy.
source-policy ipv6-acl-number
By default, no IPv6 multicast
source policies exist, and all IPv6
multicast
data packets are
forwarded.
Configuring an IPv6 PIM hello policy
This feature enables the device to filter IPv6 PIM hello messages by using an ACL that specifies the
packet source addresses. It is used to guard against IPv6 PIM message attacks and to establish
correct IPv6 PIM neighboring relationships.
If hello messages of an existing IPv6 PIM neighbor are filtered out by the policy, the neighbor is
automatically removed when its aging timer expires.
To configure an IPv6 PIM hello policy:
Step
Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

3.
Configure an IPv6 PIM hello
policy.
ipv6 pim
neighbor-policy
ipv6-acl-number
By default, no IPv6 PIM hello
policies exist on an interface, and
all IPv6 PIM hello messages are
regarded as legal.
Configuring IPv6 PIM hello message options
In either an IPv6 PIM-DM domain or an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, hello messages exchanged among
routers contain the following configurable options:
•
DR_Priority
(for IPv6 PIM-SM only)—Priority for DR election. The device with the highest
priority wins the DR election. You can configure this option for all the routers in a shared-media
LAN that directly connects to the IPv6 multicast source or the receivers.
•
Holdtime
—IPv6 PIM neighbor lifetime. If a router receives no hello message from a neighbor
when the neighbor lifetime expires, it regards the neighbor failed or unreachable.
•
LAN_Prune_Delay
—Delay of pruning a downstream interface on a shared-media LAN. This
option has LAN delay, override interval, and neighbor tracking support (the capability to disable
join message suppression).
