IPv6 PIM Sparse<br />
Configuring candidate RP<br />
Enter a command such as the following to configure the device as a candidate RP.<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# ipv6 router pim<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-candidate ethernet 2/2<br />
To configure the device as a candidate RP for a specified VRF, enter the commands as shown in the<br />
following example.<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-candidate ethernet 2/2<br />
Syntax: [no] rp-candidate ethernet slot/portnum | loopback num | ve num<br />
The ethernet slot/portnum | loopback num | ve num parameter specifies the interface. The device<br />
will advertise the specified interface IP address as a candidate RP:<br />
• Enter ethernet slot/portnum for a physical interface (port).<br />
• Enter loopback num for a loopback interface.<br />
• Enter ve num for a virtual interface.<br />
To add address ranges for which the device is a candidate RP, enter commands such as the<br />
following.<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# ipv6 router pim<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-candidate add ff02::200:2 64<br />
To add address ranges for a specified VRF for which the device is a candidate RP, enter commands<br />
such as the following.<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-candidate add ff02::200:2 64<br />
Syntax: [no] rp-candidate add group-ipv6 address mask-bits<br />
You can delete the configured RP candidate group ranges by entering commands such as the<br />
following.<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# ipv6 router pim<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-candidate delete ff02::200:1 128<br />
You can delete the configured RP candidate group ranges for a specified VRF by entering<br />
commands such as the following:<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-candidate delete ff02::200:1 128<br />
Syntax: [no] rp-candidate delete group-ipv6 address mask-bits<br />
The usage for the group-ipv6 address mask-bits parameter is the same as for the rp-candidate add<br />
command.<br />
Statically specifying the RP<br />
It is recommended that you use the IPv6 PIM Sparse mode RP election process so that a backup<br />
RP can automatically take over if the active RP router becomes unavailable. However, if you do not<br />
want the RP to be selected by the RP election process but instead you want to explicitly identify the<br />
RP by its IPv6 address, use the rp-address command.<br />
