BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide 123153-1001986-01IPv6 PIM sparse 49• Configure an IPv6 address on the interface• Enable IPv6 PIM Sparse• Identify the interface as a IPv6 PIM Sparse border, if applicableNOTEYou cannot configure a Brocade routing interface as a PMBR interface for PIM Sparse in thecurrent software release.• Configure the following PIM Sparse global parameters:• Identify the BigIron RX as a candidate PIM Sparse Bootstrap Router (BSR), if applicable.• Identify the BigIron RX as a candidate PIM Sparse Rendezvous Point (RP), if applicable.• Specify the IP address of the RP (if you want to statically select the RP).NOTEBrocade recommends that you configure the same BigIron RX as both the BSR and the RP.IPv6 PIM-sparse modeTo configure a Brocade device for IPv6 PIM Sparse, perform the following tasks:• Identify the Layer 3 switch as a candidate sparse rendezvous point (RP), if applicable• Specify the IPv6 address of the RP (to configure statically)The following example enables IPv6 PIM-SM routing. Enter the following command at theconfiguration level to enable IPv6 PIM-SM globally.BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 router pimBigIron RX(config-ipv6-pim-router)#Syntax: [no] ipv6 router pimTo enable IPv6 PIM Sparse mode on an interface, enter a commands such as the following.BigIron RX(config)# interface ethernet 2/2BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-2/2)# ipv6 address a000:1111::1/64BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-2/2)# ipv6 pim-sparseSyntax: [no] ipv6 pim-sparseThe commands in this example add an IPv6 interface to port 2/2, then enable IPv6 PIM Sparse onthe interface.Configuring IPv6 PIM-SM on a virtual routing interfaceYou can enable IPv6 PIM-SM on a virtual routing interface by entering a command such as thefollowing.BigIron RX(config)#interface ve 15BigIron RX(config-vif-15)ipv6 address a000:1111::1/64BigIron RX(config-vif-15)#ipv6 pim-sparse
