Configuring PIM for IPv4
All routers within the same PIM-SM domain must be configured with the
◆
same RP(s). Selecting an RP through the dynamic election process is
therefore preferable for most situations. Using the dynamic RP election
process also allows a backup RP to automatically take over if the active
RP router becomes unavailable.
