Static-RP in SMLT using the same CLIP address

In a normal PIM SMLT network, in the event of a failed or unreachable RP, all (S,G) entries are
deleted from the network because of the unreachable RP.
To provide faster failover in a switch cluster, you can configure each switch in an IST pair as a static
RP using the same CLIP address, as shown in the following figure. In this case, (S,G) entries are
not flushed out in the event of a failed RP, and therefore this configuration provides faster failover.
