Associate the PIMv6 Component to an Interface

The ipv6 pim componentId command adds an interface to the PIMv6 component and enables PIMv6 on the interface. You must associate a PIMv6 component with the interface to turn the interface into a supported PIMv6 module. In addition, you must create a component before you associate that component with an interface, except for the default component 1. See Configuring the PIMv6 Component for instructions on how to create a component.

1. Enable PIMv6.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# set ipv6 pim enable
   

2. Enter the configuration mode for VLAN 1, and associate the VLAN interface with the PIMv6 component ID (2 in this case).

   SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 1
   SEFOS(config-if)# ipv6 pim componentId 2
   SEFOS(config-if)# end
   

3. Review the interface status.

   SEFOS# show ipv6 pim interface detail
