PIM DR Election

PIM DR Election

On advertisement interfaces, the PIM appointed router (DR) is amenable for sending PIM Register,

Join, and Prune letters against the RP. In IPv6 PIM, DR acclamation works absolutely as in IPv4. That

is, by default, the PIM router with the accomplished unicast IPv6 abode becomes the DR. You can also

statically configure the PIM DR by allotment antecedence values. (The accomplished antecedence wins the

election.) If the DR fails, the PIM router with the accomplished actual antecedence becomes the DR. The

IPv6 abode is afresh the tie-breaker.
