Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure IPv6 PIM-DM, complete the following tasks:

Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
domain are interoperable at the network layer.

Determine the interval between state refresh messages.

Determine the minimum time to wait before receiving a new refresh message.

Determine the hop limit value of state-refresh messages.

Determine the graft retry period.

Enabling IPv6 PIM-DM

With IPv6 PIM-DM enabled, a router sends hello messages periodically to discover IPv6 PIM neighbors

and processes messages from the IPv6 PIM neighbors. When you deploy an IPv6 PIM-DM domain,

enable IPv6 PIM-DM on all non-border interfaces of routers.
Follow these steps to enable IPv6 PIM-DM:

To do...

Use the command...
