Parameters
limit: Sets the maximum number of RPs in BIDIR-PIM, in the range of 1 to 32.
Usage guidelines
In a BIDIR-PIM domain, one DF election per RP is implemented on all PIM-enabled interfaces. To avoid
unnecessary DF elections, HP recommends not configuring multiple RPs for BIDIR-PIM.
This command sets a limit on the number of BIDIR-PIM RPs. If the number of RPs exceeds the limit, excess
RPs do not take effect and can be used only for DF election rather than multicast data forwarding.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of BIDIR-PIM RPs to 3 on the public network.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] pim
[Sysname-pim] bidir-rp-limit 3
