pim ipv6 bsr-boundary

Function

The pim ipv6 bsr-boundary command configures the BSR boundary of a PIM-SM (IPv6) domain on an interface.

The undo pim ipv6 bsr-boundary command restores the default configuration.

By default, the BSR boundary of a PIM-SM (IPv6) domain is not set.

Format

pim ipv6 bsr-boundary

undo pim ipv6 bsr-boundary

Parameters

None

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

As the management core of the PIM-SM (IPv6) network, the BSR is responsible for sending collected RP-set information to PIM neighbors through Bootstrap messages.

You can divide a large PIM-SM (IPv6) network into multiple PIM-SM (IPv6) domains by configuring the bsr boundary on an interface. Each BSR then serves the local PIM-SM (IPv6) domain.

Prerequisites

IPv6 multicast routing has been enabled globally using the multicast ipv6 routing-enable command in the system view.

Configuration Impact

The Bootstrap messages cannot traverse the BSR boundary but other multicast packets can.

Example

# Configure the BSR boundary of a PIM-SM (IPv6) domain on VLANIF100.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] multicast ipv6 routing-enable
[HUAWEI] interface vlanif 100
[HUAWEI-Vlanif100] pim ipv6 bsr-boundary

# Configure the BSR boundary of a PIM-SM (IPv6) domain on GE0/0/1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
