Setting the maximum number of IPv6 BIDIR-PIM RPs
About setting the maximum number of IPv6 BIDIR-PIM RPs
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, excess RPs do not take effect and can be used only for DF election rather than IPv6 multicast data forwarding. The system does not delete these excess RPs. They must be deleted manually.
