Configuring an RP Router for PIM Sparse Mode for IPv6

When you use the router for PIM sparse mode, some VRs must act as RP routers. If you want to control PIM more tightly, you can configure a static RP router. To do so:

1. Configure an access list that details the multicast groups that can use the static RP router (in this case, all globally scoped multicast groups).
   host1(config)#ipv6 access-list boston permit ff0e::/16 any
2. Specify a static RP router.
   host1(config)#ipv6 pim rp-address ::122:1 boston

Note: You can configure multicast on IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces. For information about configuring PIM on IPv4 interfaces, see Configuring PIM for IPv4 Multicast . For information about configuring IP interfaces, see Configuring IP in the JunosE IP, IPv6, and IGP Configuration Guide. For information about configuring IPv6 interfaces, see Configuring IPv6 in the JunosE IP, IPv6, and IGP Configuration Guide.
