7.3.4 (Optional) Configuring a Static RP

When only one RP exists in the network, you can manually configure a static RP rather than a
dynamic RP. This can save the bandwidth occupied by message exchange between the C-RP
and the BSR. The configurations about the static RP should be the same on all the devices in a
PIM-SM domain.

NOTE
When the switch is distributed in the PIM-SM domain, enable PIM-SM on all non-boundary interfaces.
