IP PIM RP ADDRESS

ip pim rp-address

Overview Use this command to statically configure RP (Rendezvous Point) address for
multicast groups.
Use the no variant of this command to remove a statically configured RP
(Rendezvous Point) address for multicast groups.
Syntax ip pim rp-address <ip-address> [<acl>] [override]
no ip pim rp-address <ip-address> [<acl>] [override]
Mode Global Configuration
Usage The AlliedWare Plus PIM-SM implementation supports multiple static RPs. It also
supports usage of static-RP and BSR mechanism simultaneously. The ip pim
rp-address command is used to statically configure the RP address for multicast
groups.
You need to understand the following information before using this command.
If the RP-address that is configured by the BSR, and the RP-address that is
configured statically, are both available for a group range, then the RP-address
configured through BSR is chosen over the statically configured RP-address.
A single static-RP can be configured for multiple group ranges using Access Lists.
However, configuring multiple static RPs (using ip pim rp-address command)
with the same RP address is not allowed. The static-RP can either be configured for
the whole multicast group range 224.0.0.0/4 (without ACL) or for specific
group ranges (using ACL).
For example, configuring ip pim rp-address 192.168.3.4 will configure static-RP
192.168.3.4 for the default group range 224.0.0.0/4. Configuring ip pim
rp-address 192.168.7.8 grp-list will configure static-RP 192.168.7.8 for all the
group ranges represented by permit filters in grp-list ACL.
If multiple static-RPs are available for a group range, then one with the highest IP
address is chosen.
Only Permit filters in ACLs are considered as valid group ranges. The default
Permit filter 0.0.0.0/0 is converted to the default multicast filter
224.0.0.0/4.
After configuration, the RP-address is inserted into a static-RP group tree based on
the configured group ranges. For each group range, multiple static-RPs are
maintained in a linked list. This list is sorted in a descending order of IP addresses.
