In the following example, the first PIM-SM command just specifies the RP
address 192.168.1.1 to indicate that it will be used to service all multicast
groups. The second PIM-SM command includes the multicast groups to be
serviced by the RP.
Console(config)#ipv6 pim rp-address 2001:DB8:2222:7272::72
Console(config)#ipv6 pim rp-address 2001:DB8:2222:7272::72 group-prefix

vlan-id - VLAN ID (Range: 1-4094)
group-prefix - An IPv6 network prefix for a multicast group. If a
group prefix is not specified, the RP is advertised for all multicast
groups.
seconds - The interval at which this device advertises itself as an RP
candidate. (Range: 60-16383 seconds)
value - Priority used by the candidate RP in the election process.
The RP candidate with the largest priority is preferred. If the priority
values are the same, the candidate with the larger IP address is
elected to be the RP. Setting the priority to zero means that this
router is not eligible to server as the RP. (Range: 0-255)
