Parameters

limit: Specifies the maximum number of IPv6 BIDIR-PIM RPs, in the range of 1 to 32.

Usage guidelines

In an IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain, one DF election per RP is implemented on all IPv6 PIM-enabled interfaces. To avoid unnecessary DF elections, do not configure multiple RPs for IPv6 BIDIR-PIM.

This configuration sets a limit on the number of IPv6 BIDIR-PIM RPs. If the number of RPs exceeds the limit, extra RPs do not take effect and can be used only for DF election rather than IPv6 multicast data forwarding.

Examples

# Set the maximum number of IPv6 BIDIR RPs to 3 on the public network.
