Hello,
I have R2, R5 and R6 connected via point-to-point frame-relay subinterfaces. Think of them in a triangle. I have IPv6 enabled on the interfaces, loopbacks, and RIPng running throughout. All devices are pingable from all addresses.
I have configured IPv6 multicast-routing on each router and enabled R5 as the candidate BSR/RP, however R2 and R6 are not learning the advertisements.
Here are the configs.
R2:
ipv6 unicast-routing
ipv6 cef
ipv6 multicast-routing
interface Serial0/1/0.25 point-to-point
bandwidth 512
ip address 150.50.25.2 255.255.255.252

As you can see, R2 and R6 do not learn the BSR or the RP:
R2#sho ipv6 pim bsr election
No BSR information found
R2#sho ipv6 pim bsr rp
R2#sho ipv6 pim bsr rp-cache
No BSR RP-Cache information found
R2#sho ipv6 pim bsr can
R2#sho ipv6 pim bsr candidate-rp
No C-RP information found
Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks,

Hi Bryan,
You do not seem to have the PIM enabled on your interfaces. Use the ipv6 pim command on your interfaces to get the PIM running.
Also, it might be possible that on R5, you also need to enable PIM on the Loopback6 interface. At least in IPv4, if you advertised a certain interface as the source for BSR/RP, that interface had to be PIM-enabled.
Best regards,
Peter

Peter, PIM is on by default and does not show up in the running-config. That is why I gave the "show ipv6 pim neighbor" output.

Hi Bryan,
You're completely right. Sorry about my misstep here - I am not quite fluent in the IPv6 multicast yet.
Let me give it a try in a lab. I'll see what comes out of it in a few hours.
Best regards,
Peter

Heh, no problem, I am not that fluent yet as you can tell! I am using 2800s with 12.4(24)T1...but I have experienced a similar problem with 3640s running 12.4 enterprise. And there are not many resources except the DocCD on IPv6 multicast...
Thanks.

Well this may explain the issue:
"Use the show ipv6 pim bsr command to display details of the BSR election-state machine, C-RP advertisement state machine, and the C-RP cache. Information on the C-RP cache is displayed only on the elected BSR router, and information on the C-RP state machine is displayed only on a router configured as a C-RP. "
So it looks I should only see the BSR election output...but I am still not getting that...

Well I rebooted the 3 routers and now things are looking good. I have no idea what the deal was:
R2#sho ipv6 pim bsr election
PIMv2 BSR information
BSR Election Information
Scope Range List: ff00::/8
BSR Address: 2001:5::5
Uptime: 10:57:29, BSR Priority: 0, Hash mask length: 126
RPF: FE80::20F:35FF:FE2D:5B21,Serial0/1/0.25
