IPv6 PIM-Sparse mode

NOTE

It is recommended that you configure the same device as both the BSR and the RP.

IPv6 PIM-Sparse mode

To configure a device for IPv6 PIM Sparse, perform the following tasks:

•Identify the Layer 3 switch as a candidate sparse Rendezvous Point (RP), if applicable.

•Specify the IPv6 address of the RP (to configure statically).

The following example enables IPv6 PIM-SM routing. Enter the following command at the configuration level to enable IPv6 PIM-SM globally.

device(config)# ipv6 router pim device(config-ipv6-pim-router)#

To enable IPv6 PIM Sparse mode on an interface, enter commands such as the following.

device(config)# interface ethernet 2/2 device(config-if-e10000-2/2)# ipv6 address a000:1111::1/64 device(config-if-e10000-2/2)# ipv6 pim-sparse

Syntax: [no] ipv6 pim-sparse

Use the no option to remove IPv6 PIM sparse configuration from the interface.

The commands in this example add an IPv6 interface to port 2/2, then enable IPv6 PIM Sparse on the interface.

Configuring IPv6 PIM-SM on a virtual routing interface

You can enable IPv6 PIM-SM on a virtual routing interface by entering commands such as the following.

device(config)# interface ve 15 device(config-vif-15)# ipv6 address a000:1111::1/64 device(config-vif-15)# ipv6 pim-sparse

Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM for a specified VRF

To enable IPv6 PIM-SM for the VRF named "blue", create the VRF named "blue", enable it for IPv6 routing, and then enable IPv6 PIM-SM for the VRF, as shown in the following example.

device(config)# vrf blue device(config-vrf-blue)# rd 11:1 device(config-vrf-blue)# address-family ipv6 device(config-vrf-blue-ipv6)# router pim device(config-pim-router)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue device(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)

Syntax: [no] ipv6 router pim [ vrf vrf-name]

The vrf parameter allows you to configure IPv6 PIM-SM on the virtual routing instance (VRF) specified by the vrf-namevariable. All PIM parameters available for the default router instance are configurable for a VRF-based PIM instance.

Use the no option to remove all configuration for PIM multicast on the specified VRF.
