32.1.3 Configuring IPv6 Multicast Routing

Points to note

To enable IPv6 multicast routing with the Switch, you must use global configuration mode for configurations, and you must set the loopback address of the Switch for the loopback 0 interface. In the following procedure, 2001:db8::b is used as the loopback address of the Switch.

Note that, in addition to the settings described here, you must configure IPv6 PIM on at least one interface by using the ipv6 pim command.

Command examples

1. (config)# interface loopback 0

   (config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8::b

   (config-if)# exit

   Sets the loopback address.

2. (config)# ipv6 multicast-routing

   Enables the IPv6 multicast functionality.
