Configuring Multicast Acquisition for IPv6
The aboriginal footfall in configuring multicast on a Cisco IOS router or about-face is to accredit multicast
routing:
Jeter(config)# ipv6 multicast-routing
Once multicast acquisition is enabled, you can configure PIM on the adapted interfaces, acclimatize MLD
configuration, and accredit any added all-important appearance such as BSR, MLD, and so forth. Cisco IOS
IPv6 multicast agreement is so agnate to IPv4 that its advantage ends here; accredit to Affiliate 17
for added details.

Command Description
[no] ipv6 unicast-routing Globally enables or disables IPv6 acquisition functionality.
show ipv6 interface {type number} Displays agreement of all IPv6 interfaces or a
selected interface, if defined in {type number},
including all-around unicast and link-local address, MTU,
and added parameters.
show ipv6 interface abrupt Displays a arbitrary of IPv6 interfaces.
ipv6 abode {ipv6-address/prefixlength
| prefix-name sub-bits/prefixlength
| autoconfig} {anycast | eui-64 |
link-local}
Configures a all-around unicast (EUI-64 or non-EUI-64),
link-local, or anycast abode on an IPv6 interface.
[no] ipv6 avenue {destination-prefix}
{next-hop-ipv6-address | outgoinginterface}
{next-hop-ipv6-address |
administrative-distance | multicast | tag
| unicast}
Creates a changeless avenue to a prefix allegorical an IPv6
address or interface, or both, as the abutting hop. Optionally
configures authoritative ambit and avenue tag and
qualifies this changeless avenue to be acclimated for alone multicast or
for alone unicast routing.
ipv6 multicast-routing Enables IPv6 multicast globally.
ipv6 mld Interface command for configuring Multicast Listener
Discovery options.
ipv6 pim Enables PIM on an IPv6 interface.
ipv6 ospf process-ID breadth area-ID Activates OSPFv3 on an interface and sets the
interface’s OSPF area.
