Step 2 Run:
interface loopback interface-number
The loopback interface view is displayed.
Multiple RPs can use the same IP address in a network. The RPs, therefore, are configured on
the loopback interface.
Step 3 Run:
ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length }
The address of the loopback interface is configured.
The parameters of the command are explained as follows:
l ip-address: specifies the address of an RP. The RPs configured on multiple devices uses the
l mask | mask-length: specifies the address mask of the loopback interface.
Step 4 Run:
pim sm
PIM-SM is enabled for the RP interface.

same IP address.
NOTE
Before configuring a dynamic RP, you need to run this command. This command is not required when you
configure a static RP.
NOTE
l If the PIM-SM network uses a static RP, the configuration is not necessary.
l If the PIM-SM network uses a BSR-RP, the configuration is mandatory. Before configuring a C-RP,
configure a BSR and BSP boundary. The BSR address cannot be the same as the C-RP address.
