8.4.2 Configuring the Interface Address of an RP

Before configuring anycast on the devices in a PIM-SM domain, configure a loopback interface
on each device and assign the same IP address to the loopback interfaces. In addition, advertise
the IP address of the RP through unicast routes to ensure that each device has a reachable route
to the RP interface.
Context
Use a unicast routing protocol in the current network to advertise the address of the newly
configured RP interface. Ensure that all switchs in the network have a route to the RP.
In the PIM-SM domain, do as follows on multiple switchs on which the anycast RP is to be
configured:

Issue 01 (2011-10-26)
Configure the loopback interfaces on the switchs as C-RPs or configure the address of the
loopback interface as a static RP on all switchs in the PIM-SM domain.
Set up the MSDP peer relationship between the switchs. If the number of switchs is greater
than three, it is recommended to set up the MSDP peer relationship between the switchs
and configure them to join the same mesh group.
Specify the logical RP address to transmit SA messages between the MSDP peers.
