Follow these steps to enable embedded RP:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter IPv6 PIM view
Enable embedded RP
The default embedded RP address scopes are FF7x::/12 and FFFx::/12. Here "x" refers to any legal
address scope. For details of the scope field, see Multicast Overview of the IP Multicast Volume.
Configuring C-RP timers globally
To enable the BSR to distribute the RP-Set information within the IPv6 PIM-SM domain, C-RPs must
periodically send C-RP-Adv messages to the BSR. The BSR learns the RP-Set information from the
received messages, and encapsulates its own IPv6 address together with the RP-Set information in its
bootstrap messages. The BSR then floods the bootstrap messages to all IPv6 routers in the network.
Each C-RP encapsulates a timeout value in its C-RP-Adv messages. Upon receiving a C-RP-Adv
message, the BSR obtains this timeout value and starts a C-RP timeout timer. If the BSR fails to hear a
subsequent C-RP-Adv message from the C-RP when the timer times out, the BSR assumes the C-RP
to have expired or become unreachable.
The C-RP timers need to be configured on C-RP routers.
Follow these steps to configure C-RP timers globally:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter IPv6 PIM view
Configure the C-RP-Adv
interval
Configure C-RP timeout time
For the configuration of other timers in IPv6 PIM-SM, refer to
Use the command...

Use the command...
