32.1.5 Configuring IPv6 PIM-SM Rendezvous Point Candidates

Points to note

The example below shows how to use the Switch as a rendezvous point candidate by using global configuration mode for configurations. Use the address set for the loopback 0 interface as the rendezvous point address. In the following procedure, 2001:db8::b is used as the loopback address of the Switch, and ff15::/16 is used as the multicast group address to be managed.

Command examples

1. (config)# ipv6 access-list GROUP1

   (config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff15::/16

   (config-ipv6-acl)# exit

   Creates an access list for the multicast group addresses to be managed.

2. (config)# ipv6 pim bsr candidate rp 2001:db8::b group-list GROUP1

   Sets the Switch as a rendezvous point candidate. (The access list created in step 1 is used to specify the multicast group address to be managed.)
