Configuring a Rendezvous Point
You must have a rendezvous point (RP), if the interface is in sparse-dense mode and if you want to handle
the group as a sparse group. You can use several methods, as described in these sections:
•
Manual assignment
For information about this procedure, see
Manually Assigning an RP to Multicast Groups (CLI), on
page 127
.
•
As a standalone, Cisco-proprietary protocol separate from PIMv1
For information about these procedures, see the following sections:
◦
Setting Up Auto-RP in a New Internetwork (CLI), on page 129
◦
Adding Auto-RP to an Existing Sparse-Mode Cloud (CLI), on page 131
◦
Preventing Join Messages to False RPs (CLI), on page 134
◦
Filtering Incoming RP Announcement Messages (CLI), on page 134
•
Using a standards track protocol in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
For information about this procedure, see
Configuring PIMv2 BSR, on page 136
.
You can use Auto-RP, BSR, or a combination of both, depending on the PIM version that you are running
and the types of routers in your network. For information about working with different PIM versions in
your network, see
PIMv1 and PIMv2 Interoperability, on page 114
