Precedence
Enter the value for pimGroupMappingPrecedence to be used for

When the function is activated pimStaticRPOverrideDynamic is
ignored. The absolute values of this object are only significant
on the local router and need not be synchronised with other
routers.
The function is deactivated with the default value

tion is not activated by setting a value not 0, this can have differ-
ent consequences for other routers. Hence, avoid using this
function if exact control of the behaviour of the static RP is not
required.
