Usage
The AlliedWare Plus™ PIM-SM implementation supports multiple static RPs. It also
supports usage of static-RP and BSR mechanism simultaneously. The
ip pim
rp-address
command is used to statically configure the RP address for multicast
groups.
You need to understand the following information before using this command.
If the RP-address that is configured by the BSR, and the RP-address that is
configured statically, are both available for a group range, then the RP-address
configured through BSR is chosen over the statically configured RP-address.
A single static-RP can be configured for multiple group ranges using Access Lists.
However, configuring multiple static RPs (using
ip pim rp-address
command)
with the same RP address is not allowed. The static-RP can either be configured for
the whole multicast group range
224.0.0.0/4
(without ACL) or for specific
group ranges (using ACL).
For example, configuring
ip pim rp-address 192.168.3.4
will configure static-RP
192.168.3.4 for the default group range 224.0.0.0/4. Configuring i
p pim
rp-address 192.168.7.8 grp-list
will configure static-RP 192.168.7.8 for all the
group ranges represented by permit filters in grp-list ACL.
If multiple static-RPs are available for a group range, then one with the highest IP
address is chosen.
