Command Syntax

Parameter
Parameter | Description |
rp <rp-address> | Specifies address of a static RP. The address is in dotted decimal notation. |
group-prefix <IPv4Net> | Specifies the group prefix address served by the RP. The value is in the form of an IP address and prefix-length in the address/prefix-length format. |
rp-priority <rp-priority> | Specifies the priority of the static RP in a multicast group. Smaller value means higher priority. The value is an integer that ranges from 0 to 255. The default value is 192. |
Usage Guidelines
A PIM-SM router must either run the PIM-SM bootstrap mechanism to elect a dynamic RP, or have some RPs configured as static RP settings.
When both static RP and dynamic RP are configured, PIM routers will elect an RP from multiple C-RPs and the static RPs following these rules:
- The C-RP or static RP with highest priority wins.
- If multiple C-RPs or static RPs have the same priority, the C-RP or static RP with the largest hash value wins.
- If all the preceding factors are the same, the C-RP or static RP with the largest address wins.
Example
- Configure the priority for a static RP in a multicast group 239.0.0.0/8 to 5.
