NOTE:

You can configure the hash mask length and C-BSR priority globally and in an IPv6 admin-scoped zone.

The values configured in the IPv6 admin-scoped zone have preference over the global values.

If you do not configure these parameters in the IPv6 admin-scoped zone, the corresponding global
values will be used.

For configuration of global C-BSR parameters, see "

Configuring C-BSR parameters globally

Configuring IPv6 multicast source registration

Within an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, the source-side DR sends register messages to the RP, and these register

messages have different IPv6 multicast source or IPv6 multicast group addresses. You can configure a

filtering rule to filter register messages so that the RP can serve specific IPv6 multicast groups. If the

filtering rule denies an (S, G) entry, or the filtering rule does not define an action for this entry, the RP will
send a register-stop message to the DR to stop the registration process for the IPv6 multicast data.
In view of information integrity of register messages in the transmission process, you can configure the

device to calculate the checksum based on the entire register messages. However, to reduce the

workload of encapsulating data in register messages and for the sake of interoperability, H3C does not
recommend this method of checksum calculation.
When receivers stop receiving data addressed to a certain IPv6 multicast group through the RP (that is,

the RP stops serving the receivers of that IPv6 multicast group), or when the RP starts receiving IPv6

multicast data from the IPv6 multicast source along the SPT, the RP sends a register-stop message to the
source-side DR. After receiving this message, the DR stops sending register messages encapsulated with

IPv6 multicast data and starts a register-stop timer. Before the register-stop timer expires, the DR sends a

null register message (a register message without multicast data) to the RP. If the DR receives a

register-stop message during the register probe time, it will reset its register-stop timer. Otherwise, the DR
starts sending register messages with encapsulated data again when the register-stop timer expires.
The register-stop timer is set to a random value chosen uniformly from the interval (0.5 times

register_suppression_time, 1.5 times register_suppression_time) minus register_probe_time.
Configure a filtering rule for register messages on all C-RP routers and configure them to calculate the

checksum based on the entire register messages. Configure the register suppression time and the register
probe time on all routers that might become IPv6 source-side DRs.
