Solution
1.
Use the
display current-configuration
command to check the minimum hop limit value for multicast
forwarding. Increase the hop limit value or cancel the configuration of the
multicast ipv6
minimum-hoplimit
command on the interface.
2.
Use the
display current-configuration
command to verify the IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary
settings. Use the
multicast ipv6 boundary
command to change the IPv6 multicast forwarding
boundary settings.
3.
Use the
display current-configuration
command to verify the IPv6 multicast filter configuration.
Change the IPv6 ACL rule defined in the
source-policy
command so that the source/group address
of the IPv6 multicast data can pass ACL filtering.
RPs cannot join the SPT in IPv6 PIM-SM
Symptom
An RPT cannot be established correctly, or the RPs cannot join the SPT to the IPv6 multicast source.
Analysis
•
As the core of an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, the RPs serves specific IPv6 multicast groups. Multiple RPs
can coexist in a network. Make sure the RP information on all routers is exactly the same, and a
specific group is mapped to the same RP. Otherwise, IPv6 multicast will fail.
•
In the case of the static RP mechanism, the same RP address must be configured on all the routers
in the entire network, including static RPs, by means of the static RP command. Otherwise, IPv6
multicast will fail.
Solution
1.
Use the
display ipv6 routing-table
command to verify that a route to the RP is available on each
router.
2.
Use the
display pim ipv6 rp-info
command to verify that the dynamic RP information is consistent
on all routers. In case of inconsistent RP information, configure consistent RP address on all the
routers.
3.
Use the
display pim ipv6 rp-info
command to verify that the same RP address has been configured
on all the routers throughout the network.
RPT cannot be established or a source cannot register in IPv6
PIM-SM
Symptom
C-RPs cannot unicast advertise messages to the BSR. The BSR does not advertise bootstrap messages
containing C-RP information and has no unicast route to any C-RP. An RPT cannot be established correctly,
or the DR cannot perform source registration with the RP.
Analysis
•
C-RPs periodically send advertisement messages to the BSR by unicast. If a C-RP does not have a
route to the BSR, the BSR cannot receive the advertisements from the C-RP and the bootstrap
messages of the BSR do not contain the information about that C-RP.
•
The RP is the core of an IPv6 PIM-SM domain. Make sure the RP information on all routers is exactly
the same, a specific group is mapped to the same RP, and a unicast route is available to the RP.
