Parameter
rp-address: Static RP address, only being legal unicast IP address.
acl-number: Basic ACL, used to control the range of multicast group served by static RP,
which ranges from 2000 to 2999. If an ACL is not specified upon configuration, static
RP will serve all multicast groups; if an ACL is specified, static RP will only serve the
multicast group passing the ACL.
Description
Use the static-rp command to configure static RP.
Use the undo static-rp command to remove the configuration.
Static RP functions as the backup of dynamic RP so as to improve the network
robustness. If the RP elected by BSR mechanism is valid, static RP will not work.
All routers in the PIM domain should be configured with this command and be specified
with the same RP address.
The new configuration overwrites the old one if you run the command for a second
time.
Caution:
When the BSR-elected RP is effective, the static RP does not work.
All routers in the PIM domain must be configured with this command simultaneously,
with the same RP address specified.
The system supports up to ten different static RP addresses. When more than ten
static RP addresses are configured, the system will give this prompt information:
"
Cannot config static-rp, exceeded static-rp
Related command: display pim rp-info.
Example
# Configure 10.110.0.6 as a static RP.
