Quick Steps for Configuring IPv6 PIM-DM Configuring PIM
page 7-34 OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Advanced Routing Configuration Guide December 2007
Note. The IPv6 interface on which the PIM is enabled must be an already configured IPv6 interface on the
switch
4 Map the IPv6 PIM-Dense Mode (DM) protocol for a multicast group via the ipv6 pim dense group
command. For example:
-> ipv6 pim dense group ff0e::1234/128
5 Globally enable the IPv6 PIM protocol by entering the following command. By default, PIM protocol
status is disabled.
-> ipv6 pim sparse status enable
-> ipv6 pim dense status enable
6 Save your changes to the Working directory’s boot.cfg file by entering the following command:
-> write memory
Note. Optional. To verify IPv6 PIM interface status, enter the show ipv6 pim interface command. The
display is similar to the one shown here:
-> 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
To verify global IPv6 PIM status, enter the show ipv6 pim sparse or show ipv6 pim dense command.
The display for sparse mode is similar to the one shown here:
-> show ipv6 pim sparse
Status = enabled,
Keepalive Period = 210,
Max RPs = 32,
Probe Time = 5,
Register Suppress Timeout = 60,
RP Switchover = enabled,
SPT Status = enabled,
The display for dense mode is similar to the one shown here:
-> show IPv6 pim dense
Status = enabled,
Source Lifetime = 210,
State Refresh Interval = 60,
State Refresh Limit Interval = 0,
State Refresh TTL = 16
(additional table output not shown)
For more information about these displays, see the “PIM Commands” chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI
Reference Guide.
