8.3.3 Configuring Anycast RP Application
If you configure the same interface (usually Loopback interface) addresses on two RPs
in the same PIM-SM domain, the two RPs will be MSDP peers to each other. To prevent
failure of RPF check on SA messages between MSDP peers, you must configure the
RP address to be carried in the SA messages.
