Communication on IPv6 PIM-SSM Network Is Disabled
If multicast relay on the IPv6 PIN-SSM network configuration is disabled, isolate the cause according to the failure 
analysis method below.
The figure below illustrates a network example of IPv6 PIM-SSM.
Figure 3-17: Example of IPv6 PIM-SSM Network
Note
• first-hop-router: This router is directly connected to the multicast sender.
• last-hop-router: This router is directly connected to the multicast receiver.
(1) Common check items
The table below shows the common check items for all system in the IPv6 PIM-SSM network configuration.

No.
Troubleshooting Steps and Command
Action
1
Confirm that the use of multicast function is designated (ipv6 
multicast routing) in the configuration.
show running-config
If the use of multicast function is not designated, correct the 
configuration.
2
Confirm that the address of the loopback interface is set in the 
configuration.
show running-config
If the address of the loopback interface is not set, correct the 
configuration.
3
Confirm that PIM is running on one or more interfaces.
show ipv6 pim interface
If PIM is not running, check the configuration. Set PIM to run 
on one or more interfaces.
4
Confirm that MLD snooping is set to the interface with PIM
enabled. 
show mld-snooping
When MLD snooping is set, confirm the following:
• Confirm that multicast router port for MLD snooping is set 
to the ports to which neighboring routers connect.
• See "
5
Confirm in the configuration that suppression of protocol 
packet and multicast packet relay through filtering, etc. is not 
provided on the interface that allows PIM and MLD to run. 
show running-config
If suppression of protocol packet and multicast packet relay is 
provided, correct the configuration.
6
Check the PIM neighboring information.
show ipv6 pim neighbor
If the neighboring router is not displayed, check the 
following:
• Confirm that PIM is running on the interface connected to 
the neighboring router using the show ipv6 pim 
command with "interface" parameter specified.
• Verify the settings of the neighboring router.
