Overview
Use this command to configure Anycast RP (Rendezvous Point) in an RP set.
Use the
no
variant of this command to remove the configuration.
Syntax
ipv6 pim anycast-rp

[
<member-rp-address>

Mode

Usage
Anycast is a network addressing and routing scheme where data is routed to the
nearest or best destination as viewed by the routing topology. Compared to
unicast with a one-to-one association between network address and network
endpoint, and multicast with a one-to-many association between network address
and network endpoint; anycast has a one-to-many association between network
address and network endpoint. For anycast, each destination address identifies a
set of receiver endpoints, from which only one receiver endpoint is chosen.
Anycast is often implemented using BGP to simultaneously advertise the same
destination IPv6 address range from many sources, resulting in packets addressed
to destination addresses in this range being routed to the nearest source
announcing the given destination IPv6 address.
Use this command to specify the Anycast RP configuration in the Anycast RP set.
Use the
no
variant of this command to remove the Anycast RP configuration. Note
that the member RP address is optional when using the
no
parameter to remove
the Anycast RP configuration. removing the anycast RP address also removes the
member RP address.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the Anycast RP address with
ipv6
pim anycast-rp
:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
ipv6 forwarding
awplus(config)#
ipv6 multicast-routing
awplus(config)#
ipv6 pim anycast-rp 2:2::2:2 20:20::20:20
