● Bidirectional Multicast
Enable or disable the "bidirectional multicast" functionality for a multicast group.
Configure the functionality for a multicast group the same on all RPs.
If you enable the function for an RP interface, the function is enabled for all existing and
future entries of this RP interface.
This table contains the following columns:
● Select

● Bidirectional Multicast
Shows whether the "bidirectional multicast" functionality is activated or deactivated for a
multicast group.
● RP Priority
Enter the priority of the interface.
Which candidate becomes the rendezvous point is decided based on the RP priority. The
candidate with the highest priority becomes the RP. The lower the value, the higher the
priority.
If the same priority is set for two candidates, when necessary the decision is made based
on the IP address. The interface with the lowest IP address becomes RP.

MSDP

5.6.13.1 MSDP
Overview
On this page, you can configure MSDP.
MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol) is supported within a PIM-SM domain in
combination with anycast RPs. Anycast RPs involve a redundancy concept for RPs. The RPs
involved all receive the same IP address and are made known in the network. The RPs are
linked together via MSDP sessions. The RPs synchronize their multicast sources via source
active messages.
Configure MSDP on the rendezvous points.
