32.1.11 Configuring IPv6 PIM-SM in VRF [SL-L3A]

Points to note

To use IPv6 PIM-SM in a VRF, configure the IPv6 multicast routing functionality for the VRF, and then configure IPv6 PIM-SM (sparse mode) on one or more interfaces in the VRF. You must also configure these even in a VRF that has no neighboring routers (for example, the sender and recipient of IPv6 multicasting are directly connected to the Switch).

The settings for IPv6 PIM-SM (sparse mode) are specified in interface configuration mode. The following figure shows an example IPv6 PIM-SM configuration in which VPN 2 is associated with VRF 10 and 2001:db8:10::1/64 is used as the IPv6 address of the VLAN 10 interface in VRF 10.

Command examples

1. (config)# interface vlan 10

   Set VLAN 10.

2. (config-if)# vrf forwarding 10

   Set VLAN 10 to VRF 10.

3. (config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:db8:10::1/64

   (config-if)# ipv6 enable

   Sets IPv6 addressing for VLAN 10.

4. (config-if)# ipv6 pim

   (config-if)# exit

   Sets IPv6 PIM-SM for VLAN 10.
