Enabling IPv6 PIM-DM

With IPv6 PIM-DM enabled on interfaces, devices can establish IPv6 PIM neighbor relationship and process IPv6 PIM messages from their IPv6 PIM neighbors.

As a best practice, enable IPv6 PIM-DM on all non-border interfaces of devices when you deploy an IPv6 PIM-DM domain.

   system-view

2. Enable IPv6 multicast routing and enter IPv6 MRIB view.
