Enabling BIDIR-PIM

1. Enter system view.
2. Enter public network PIM view
or VPN instance PIM view.
3. Enable BIDIR-PIM.

Configuring an RP

An RP can be manually configured or dynamically elected through the BSR mechanism. For a large PIM
network, static RP configuration is a tedious job. Generally, static RP configuration is just used as a
backup means for the dynamic RP election mechanism to enhance the robustness and operation
manageability of a multicast network.
Configuring a static RP
Configure static RP on all routers in the PIM-SM domain and specify the same RP address.
If only one dynamic RP exists in a network, manually configuring a static RP can avoid communication
interruption due to single-point failures and avoid frequent message exchange between C-RPs and the
BSR.
Perform this configuration on all routers in the BIDIR-PIM domain.
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter public network PIM view
or VPN instance PIM view.
3. Configure a static RP for
BIDIR-PIM.
Use the command...
ip binding vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
pim sm
Use the command...
system-view
pim [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
bidir-pim enable
Use the command...
system-view
pim [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
static-rp rp-address [ acl-number ]
