ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1818
configure pim crp vlan
configure pim crp vlan <vlan_name> [none | <policy>] {<priority>}
Description
Configures the dynamic candidate rendezvous (CRP) point for PIM sparse-mode operation.
Syntax Description
Default
The default setting for priority is 0 and indicates the highest priority.
Usage Guidelines
The policy file contains the list of multicast group addresses serviced by this RP. This set of group
addresses are advertised as candidate RPs. Each router then elects the common RP for a group address
based on a common algorithm. This group to RP mapping should be consistent on all routers.
This policy file is not used for filtering purposes. As used with this command, the policy file is just a
container for a list of addresses. So a typical policy file used for RP configuration will look a little
different from a policy used for other purposes. The following is a sample policy file which will
configure the CRP for the address ranges 239.0.0.0/24 and 232.144.27.0/24:
entry extreme1 {
if match any {
}
then {
nlri 239.0.0.0/24 ;
nlri 232.144.27.0 ;
}
}
The VLAN specified for a CRP must have PIM configured.
To delete a CRP, use the keyword
none
as the access policy.
Example
The following command configures the candidate rendezvous point for PIM sparse-mode operation on
the VLAN
HQ_10_0_3
with the policy
rp-list
and priority set to 30:
configure pim crp HQ_10_0_3 rp-list 30
vlan_name
Specifies a VLAN name.
none
Specifies no policy file.
policy

priority
Specifies a priority setting. The range is 0 - 254.
