An RPT cannot be built or IPv6 multicast source registration fails in IPv6 PIM-SM

Symptom

The C-RPs cannot unicast advertisement messages to the BSR. The BSR does not advertise BSMs containing C-RP information and has no IPv6 unicast route to any C-RP. An RPT cannot be correctly established, or the source-side DR cannot register the IPv6 multicast source with the RP.

Solution

To resolve the problem:

  1. Use display ipv6 routing-table on each device to view routing table information. Verify that IPv6 unicast routes to the C-RPs and the BSR are available on each device and that a route is available between each C-RP and the BSR.

  2. Use display ipv6 pim bsr-info to verify that the BSR information exists on each device.

  3. Use display ipv6 pim rp-info to verify that the RP information is correct on each device.

  4. Use display ipv6 pim neighbor to verify that IPv6 PIM neighboring relationship has been correctly established among the devices.

  5. If the problem persists, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support.
