•
Enable the IPv6 PIM Sparse mode of multicast routing
•
Enable the IPv6 unicast-routing
•
Configure the following interface parameters:
•
Configure an IPv6 address on the interface
•
Enable IPv6 PIM Sparse
•
Identify the interface as a IPv6 PIM Sparse border, if applicable
NOTE
You cannot configure a Brocade routing interface as a PMBR interface for PIM Sparse in the
current software release.
•
Configure the following PIM Sparse global parameters:
•
Identify the BigIron RX as a candidate PIM Sparse Bootstrap Router (BSR), if applicable.
•
Identify the BigIron RX as a candidate PIM Sparse Rendezvous Point (RP), if applicable.
•
Specify the IP address of the RP (if you want to statically select the RP).
NOTE
Brocade recommends that you configure the same BigIron RX as both the BSR and the RP.
IPv6 PIM-sparse mode
To configure a Brocade 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.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 router pim
BigIron RX(config-ipv6-pim-router)#
Syntax: [no] ipv6 router pim
To enable IPv6 PIM Sparse mode on an interface, enter a commands such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# interface ethernet 2/2
BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-2/2)# ipv6 address a000:1111::1/64
BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-2/2)# ipv6 pim-sparse
Syntax: [no] ipv6 pim-sparse
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 a command such as the
following.
BigIron RX(config)#interface ve 15
BigIron RX(config-vif-15)ipv6 address a000:1111::1/64
BigIron RX(config-vif-15)#ipv6 pim-sparse
