configure pim crp static
ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Command Reference Guide 895
configure pim crp static
configure pim crp static <ip_address> [none | <policy>] {<priority>
[0-254]}
Description
Configures a rendezvous point and its associated groups statically, for PIM sparse mode operation.
Syntax Description
Default
The default setting for priority is 0 , which indicates highest priority.
Usage Guidelines
In PIM-SM, the router sends a join message to the rendezvous point (RP). The RP is a central multicast
router that is responsible for receiving and distributing multicast packets. If you use a static RP, all
switches in your network must be configured with the same RP address for the same group (range).
The policy file contains a list of multicast group addresses served by this RP.
Example
The following command statically configures an RP and its associated groups defined in policy file
rp-list :
configure pim crp static 10.0.3.1 rp-list
The following is a sample policy file:
entry extreme1 {
if match any {
}
then {
nlri 224.0.0.0/4 ;
nlri 239.255.0.0/24 ;
nlri 232.0.0.0/8 ;
nlri 238.1.0.0/16 ;
nlri 232.232.0.0/20 ;
permit ;
}
}
