PIM6DD.CONF(5)		    BSD Programmer's Manual		PIM6DD.CONF(5)

NAME
     pim6dd.conf - config file for pim6dd, PIM for IPv6 dense mode

DESCRIPTION
     The file describes how the pim6dd(8) daemon treats each interface on the
     system.  By default(including the case where there is no configuration
     file), PIM will be activated on all interfaces, which can be overridden
     by the file.  Lines beginning with `#' are comments.

     The following configuration directives are availble:

     default_source_preference preference
	     Specifies a default preference value when sending a PIM assert
	     message.  Preferences are used by assert elections to determine
	     upstream routers.	Currently pim6dd(8) does not have an effective
	     method to obtain preferences and metrics from the unicast routing
	     protocols, so you may want to set a default value by hand.
     default_source_metric metric
	     Specifies a default metric value when sending a PIM assert mes-
	     sage.  Since pim6dd(8) cannot get an effective metric of unicast
	     routing, it is recommended that preferences is set such that met-
	     rics are never consulted. However, default metrics may also be
	     set, and its default value is 1024.
     phyint interface [disable]
	     Specifies pim6dd(8) to ignore the interface even if the interface
	     is multicast-capable.  Interfaces are specified in the form of
	     "name unit", such as gif0 and ep1.
     phyint interface [preference preference] [metric metric]
	     Specifies the preference and/or metric values when sending a PIM
	     assert message on the interface.
     filter groupaddrs interfaces...
	     Specifies an output filter by defining an administrative scope.
	     If an incoming multicast packet's destination matches the speci-
	     fied groupaddrs, the packet is not sent on the interfaces. More-
	     over, if there is no other interface than the specified inter-
	     faces, pim6dd(8) sends a prune message to the upstream neighbor.
	     Valid formats of groupaddrs are as follows.
	     multicastaddr1-multicastaddr2
		     specifies a numerical range of a scope.  Multicast ad-
		     dresses from multicastaddr1 to multicastaddr2 will be
		     filtered out.  Note that neither a white space nor a tab
		     character must not be inserted before nor after `-'.
	     multicastaddr/prefixlen
		     specifies a group prefix of a scope.  Multicast addresses
		     which match the specified prefix will be filtered out.
		     If prefixlen is omitted, it means the exact match for
		     multicastaddr.
	     interfaces are specified as a blank separated list of interfaces.
	     Each interface is specified in the form of "name unit".

EXAMPLE
     # phyint gif0 disable
     # phyint ep0 preference 101
     phyint de0 disable
     filter ff15::4000/120 gif1 gif2
     filter ff18::1000-ff18::1050 gif3

HISTORY
     The pim6dd(8) command and the configuration file pim6dd.conf are based on
     pimdd, which is an IPv4 multicast routing daemon developed at the Univer-
     sity of Oregon.  pimdd has been derived from PIM sparse-mode pimd devel-
     oped at University of Southern California.	 Part of these two programs
     above has also been derived from mrouted. mrouted is COPYRIGHT 1989 by
     The Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University.
