IPv6 BIDIR-PIM tasks at a glance

To configure IPv6 BIDIR-PIM, perform the following tasks:

1. Enabling IPv6 BIDIR-PIM

2. Configuring static RPs

   As a best practice, configure a static R when only one dynamic RP exists in the network.

3. Configuring dynamic RPs

   • Configuring C-RPs

   • Configuring C-BSRs

   • (Optional.) Configuring an IPv6 PIM domain border

   • (Optional.) Disabling BSM semantic fragmentation

   • (Optional.) Disabling the device from forwarding BSMs out of their incoming interfaces

   • (Optional.) Setting the maximum number of IPv6 BIDIR-PIM RPs

   As a best practice, configure dynamic RPs when multiple IPv6 PIM devices exist in the network.

   You can configure static RPs, dynamic RPs, or both.

4. (Optional.) Configuring common IPv6 PIM features
