Troubleshooting IPv6 PIM Configuration
Failure of Building a Multicast Distribution Tree Correctly
Symptom
None of the routers in the network (including routers directly connected with IPv6 multicast
sources and receivers) has IPv6 multicast forwarding entries. That is, a multicast distribution
tree cannot be built correctly and clients cannot receive IPv6 multicast data.
Analysis
z An IPv6 PIM routing entry is created based on an IPv6 unicast route, whichever IPv6 PIM
mode is running. Multicast works only when unicast does.
z IPv6 PIM must be enabled on the RPF interface. An RPF neighbor must be an IPv6 PIM
neighbor as well. If IPv6 PIM is not enabled on the RPF interface or the RPF neighbor, the
establishment of a multicast distribution tree will surely fail, resulting in abnormal multicast
forwarding.
z IPv6 PIM requires that the same IPv6 PIM mode, namely DM or SM, must run on the entire
network. Otherwise, the establishment of a multicast distribution tree will surely fail,
resulting in abnormal multicast forwarding.
Solution
1) Check IPv6 unicast routes. Use the display ipv6 routing-table command to check whether
a unicast route exists to the IPv6 multicast source or the RP.
2) Check that the RPF interface is IPv6 PIM enabled. Use the display pim ipv6 interface
command to view the IPv6 PIM information on each interface. If IPv6 PIM is not enabled on
the interface, use the pim ipv6 dm or pim ipv6 sm command to enable IPv6 PIM.
3) Check that the RPF neighbor is an IPv6 PIM neighbor. Use the display pim ipv6 neighbor
command to view the PIM neighbor information.
4) Check that IPv6 PIM and MLD are enabled on the interfaces directly connecting to the IPv6
multicast source and to the receiver.
