Mind Your IPv6 PIM Designated Routers

IPv6. Multicasting.

Anyone still here to read this?  There is?  I didn’t scare all of you off?

:)

While labbing last night I managed to configure myself a perfectly non-working IPv6 multicast configuration that appeared to have nothing wrong.  In fact, under certain circumstances it did work, but the one specific test I wanted to do to prove reachability just simply wasn’t working.  I eventually managed to sort it out, though it took a bit of brute forcing PIM parameters to get it to work, and to then sort out why it worked.

Simple IPv6 Multicast Configuration

IPv6 Multicasting is something that's been confusing me a bit lately.  I think I finally have the basics figured out...  And I'm going to put there here so that you can read all about it.  Because you want to read all about it. Don't you?

I thought so.
