Usage Guideline
This command is only valid for SM mode.
Use this command to statically define the RP address for multicast groups that
are to operate in sparse mode.
A User can use a single RP for more than one group. The conditions specified by
the access list determine which groups that the RP can use. A PIM router can
define multiple RPs, but only one RP can be defined per multicast group.
To configure the static-RP function in the PIM SM domain, this command needs
to be configured across all of the routers in the PIM domain.
Multiple RP addresses can be specified by the command. Only one access-list
can be specified for an RP. The new setting overrides the old one.
Example
The following example sets the PIM RP address to 10.90.90.90 for multicast
group 225.2.2.2 only:
Verify the settings by using the
show ip pim
command.
Syntax Description
IP-ADDRESS
IP address of a router to be a PIM RP.
group-list
ACCESS-
LIST-NAME
(Optional) Specifies the name of multicast ACCESS-LIST for which multicast
groups that the RP should use.
If the access-list is not specified, the default multicast group is 224.0.0.0/4.
override
(Optional) When there is a conflict between static RP configuration and the
information learned by BSR, static RP configuration has the higher priority than
the BSR learned information.
