Auto-Rp Configuration Example - Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring PIM and PIM6
1. Configure PIM sparse mode parameters on the interfaces that you want to participate in the domain. We
recommend that you enable PIM on all interfaces.
switch# config t
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# ip pim sparse-mode
2. Configure whether that router should listen and forward BSR messages
switch# config t
switch(config)# ip pim bsr forward listen
3. Configure the BSR parameters for each router that you want to act as a BSR.
switch# config t
switch(config)# ip pim bsr-candidate ethernet 2/1 hash-len 30
4. Configure the RP parameters for each router that you want to act as a candidate RP
switch# config t
switch(config)# ip pim rp-candidate ethernet 2/1 group-list 239.0.0.0/24
5. Configure message filtering.
switch# config t
switch(config)# ip pim log-neighbor-changes
This example shows how to configure PIM ASM mode using the BSR mechanism and how to configure the
BSR and RP on the same router:
config t
interface ethernet 2/1
ip pim bsr forward listen
ip pim bsr-candidate ethernet 2/1 hash-len 30
ip pim rp-candidate ethernet 2/1 group-list 239.0.0.0/24
ip pim log-neighbor-changes

Auto-RP Configuration Example

To configure PIM in Bidir mode using the Auto-RP mechanism, follow these steps for each router in the PIM
domain:
1. Configure PIM sparse mode parameters on the interfaces that you want to participate in the domain. We
recommend that you enable PIM on all interfaces.
switch# config t
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# ip pim sparse-mode
2. Configure whether that router should listen and forward Auto-RP messages.
switch# config t
switch(config)# ip pim auto-rp forward listen
ip pim sparse-mode
exit
