pim ipv6 ipsec sa

Function

The pim ipv6 ipsec sa command specifies a security association (SA) using which an interface authenticates sent and received IPv6 PIM messages to implement IP Security (IPsec) authentication.

The undo pim ipv6 ipsec sa command restores the default configuration.

By default, no SA is specified for an interface, so that the interface does not authenticate sent or received IPv6 PIM messages.

Format

pim ipv6 ipsec sa sa-name

undo pim ipv6 ipsec sa

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
sa-name	Specifies the name of an SA.	It is a string of 1 to 15 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported. The characters can be letters or numbers, hyphens (-) not supported. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

On a multicast network, forged IPv6 PIM messages may be used to attack devices, causing devices unable to forward multicast traffic. To protect a device against attacks launched using forged IPv6 PIM messages, run the pim ipv6 ipsec sa command to configure an interface to authenticate sent and received IPv6 PIM messages based on a specified SA.

To implement communication with a non-Huawei device that can encrypt and authenticate only IPv6 PIM Hello messages, specify the hello parameter in the pim ipv6 ipsec sa command.

Prerequisites

The multicast routing function has been enabled using the multicast ipv6 routing-enable command.
Basic IPsec functions have been configured.

Precautions

If the pim ipv6 ipsec sa command is run more than once, the latest configuration overrides the previous one.

Example

# Configure GE 0/1/0 to authenticate sent and received IPv6 PIM messages based on the SA named sa1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] ipsec sa sa1
[*HUAWEI-ipsec-sa-sa1] quit
[*HUAWEI] multicast ipv6 routing-enable
[*HUAWEI] interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0
[*HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] ipv6 enable
[*HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] pim ipv6 ipsec sa sa1
