Overview
Use this command to statically configure RP (Rendezvous Point) address for IPv6
multicast groups.
Use the
no
variant of this command to remove a statically configured RP
(Rendezvous Point) address for IPv6 multicast groups.

Usage
The AlliedWare Plus™ PIM-SMv6 implementation supports multiple static RPs. It
also supports usage of static-RP and BSR mechanism simultaneously. The
ipv6 pim
rp-address
command is used to statically configure the RP address for IPv6
multicast groups.
You need to understand the following information before using this command.
If the RP-address that is configured by the BSR, and the RP-address that is
configured statically, are both available for a group range, then the RP-address
configured through BSR is chosen over the statically configured RP-address.
A single static-RP can be configured for multiple group ranges using software IPv6
access- lists (ACLs). However, configuring multiple static RPs (using
ipv6 pim
rp-address
command) with the same RP address is not allowed. The static-RP can
either be configured for the whole multicast group range
ff00::/8
(without
using IPv6 ACLs) or for specific group ranges (when using IPv6 ACLs).
For example, configuring
ipv6 pim rp-address 3ffe:10:10:5::153
will configure
static-RP
3ffe:10:10:5::153
for the default group range
ff00::/8
.
Configuring
ipv6 pim rp-address 3ffee:20:20:5::153 grp-list
will configure
static-RP
3ffe:20:20:5::153
for all the group ranges represented by permit
filters in the defined named
grp-list
ACL.
If multiple static-RPs are available for a group range, then one with the highest IPv6
address is chosen.
Parameter
Description
<
IPv6-address
>
Specify the IPv6 address of the Rendezvous Point, entered
in the form
X:X::X:X
.
<
IPv6-access-list
>
Specify a Standard or an Extended software IPv6 access-list
name.
See
IPv6 Software Access Control List (ACL) Commands
for
supported IPv6 ACLs.
override
Specify this optional parameter keyword to enable any
statically defined RPs to override dynamically learned RPs.
