Configuring IPv6 PIM
This section describes PIM for IPv6 configuration, which includes enabling/disabling IPv6 PIM on a
specific interface, Enabling/disabling IPv6 PIM mode on the Switch, IPv6 PIM Bootstrap and RP Discov-
ery, Configuring a C-RP for IPv6 PIM, Configuring Candidate Bootstrap Routers (C-BSRs) for IPv6 PIM,
Configuring Static RP Groups for IPv6 PIM, and Configuring RP-switchover for IPv6 PIM using Alcatel-
Lucent’s Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.
Enabling IPv6 PIM on a Specific Interface
IPv6 PIM must be enabled on an interface using the ipv6 pim interface command. An interface can be
any IPv6 router port that has been assigned to an existing VLAN.
To enable PIM on a specific IPv6 interface, use the ipv6 pim interface command. By default, IPv6 PIM is
disabled on an interface. The interface identifier used in the command syntax is the valid interface name of
an existing VLAN router port. For example:
-> ipv6 pim interface vlan-2
Note. Only one multicast routing protocol is supported per IPv6 interface. This means that you cannot
enable both DVMRP and PIM on the same interface. Only one of the three protocols is allowed per inter-
face.
Disabling IPv6 PIM on a Specific Interface
To disable PIM on a specific IPv6 interface, use the no ipv6 pim interface command. Be sure to include
the name of the interface. For example:
-> no ipv6 pim interface vlan-2
Viewing IPv6 PIM Status and Parameters for a Specific Interface
To view the current IPv6 PIM interface information—which includes IPv6 addresses for PIM-enabled
interfaces, Hello and Join/Prune intervals, and current operational status—use the show ipv6 pim inter-
face command. For example:
-> show ipv6 pim interface
Interface Name Designated Hello Join/Prune Oper
Router Interval Interval Status
--------------------+--------------------------+--------+----------+---------
vlan-5 fe80::2d0:95ff:feac:a537 30 60 enabled
vlan-30 fe80::2d0:95ff:feac:a537 30 60 disabled
vlan-40 fe80::2d0:95ff:fee2:6eec 30 60 enabled
Enabling IPv6 PIM Mode on the Switch
To globally enable IPv6 PIM-Sparse Mode on the switch, use the ipv6 pim sparse status command. Enter
the command syntax as shown below:
-> ipv6 pim sparse status enable
To globally enable IPv6 PIM-Dense Mode on the switch, use the ipv6 pim dense status command. Enter
the command syntax as shown below:
