Configuring PIMv6 for IPv6
This section describes how to configure PIM-DM and PIM-SM for IPv6.
Enabling
PIMv6 Globally
Use the Routing Protocol > PIM6 > General page to enable IPv6 PIM routing
globally on the router.
Command Usage
This feature enables PIM-DM and PIM-SM for IPv6 globally on the router. You
also need to enable PIM-DM and PIM-SM for each interface that will support
multicast routing (see page 781), and make any changes necessary to the
multicast protocol parameters.
To use PIMv6, multicast routing must be enabled on the switch (see “Enabling
Multicast Routing Globally” on page 760).
To use multicast routing, MLD proxy cannot be enabled on any interface of the
device (see “MLD Proxy Routing” in the CLI Reference Guide).
Web Interface
To enable PIMv6 multicast routing:
1. Click Routing Protocol, PIM6, General.
2. Enable PIM6 Routing Protocol.
3. Click Apply.

Interface Settings
Use the Routing Protocol > PIM6 > Interface page configure the routing protocols
functional attributes for each interface.
Command Usage
Most of the attributes on this page are common to both PIM6-DM and
PIM6-SM. Select Dense or Sparse Mode to display the common attributes, as
well as those applicable to the selected mode.
An IPv6 address must first be assigned to the required routing interface before
PIMv6 can be configured on this page.
