Parameters
rp-address: Specifies the IP address of the static RP. This address must be a real, valid unicast IP address,
rather than an address on the 127.0.0.0/8 subnet. For a static RP serving BIDIR-PIM, you can specify a
virtual IP address.
acl-number: Specifies an IPv4 basic ACL number in the range of 2000 to 2999. The static RP is
designated only to IPv4 multicast groups that the ACL permits. The static RP is designated to all multicast
groups when one of the following conditions exists:
You do not specify an ACL.
•
The specified ACL does not exist.
•
The specified ACL does not contain valid rules.
•
bidir: Specifies BIDIR-PIM to which the static RP is designated. If you do not specify this keyword, the PIM
mode is PIM-SM.
preferred: Gives priority to the static RP if the static RP and the dynamic RP exist at the same time in the
network. The dynamic RP takes effect only if no static RP exists in the network. If you do not specify this
keyword, the dynamic RP has priority. The static RP takes effect only if no dynamic RP exists in the network
or when the dynamic RP fails.
Usage guidelines
You do not need to enable PIM on an interface that acts as a static RP.
In an IPv4 basic ACL, the source keyword matches the multicast group address in multicast packets.
If you specify the vpn-instance keyword in an ACL rule, the rule does not take effect. The other optional
parameters except the time-range keyword and the fragment keyword in the ACL rules are ignored.
When the ACL rules used by a static RP change, new RPs must be elected for all multicast groups.
You can configure multiple static RPs by using this command multiple times. However, if you specify the
same static RP address or reference the same ACL in the command, the most recent configuration takes
effect. If you configure multiple static RPs for the same multicast group, the static RP with the highest IP
address is used.
