JUNOS 5.7 and IPv6 PIM Sparse Mode
I've tried to configure a M10 running 5.7R3.3 as a PIM neighbour of a
Cisco router over IPv6. The Cisco sees the M10 as its neighbour but
the M10 doesn't report any PIM neighbors under family inet6. So, I
would like to know whether the PIM over IPv6 in functional in 5.7?

Here's the example:

The Cisco sees the situation like this:

(The Cisco router is running the latest 123T-v6mcast-eft from
2003-10-17)



rtr#show running-config interface fas1/0
