Configuring PIM for IPv6 Multicast

Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is a collection of multicast routing protocols that enable multicast routers to identify other multicast routers that can receive packets.

This chapter describes how to configure PIM for IPv6 multicast on the E Series router; it contains the following sections:
