ip pim rp-address
Use this command to statically configure Rendezvous Point (RP) address for multicast groups.
Use the no option to remove the RP address.
OcNOS PIM supports multiple static RPs. It also supports static-RP and Bootsrtrap Router (BSR) mechanism simultaneously. The following list states the correct usage of this command:
• If RP-address configured through BSR and RP-address configured statically are both available for a group range, the RP-address configured through BSR is chosen over statically configured RP-address.
• One static-RP can be configured for multiple group ranges using Access Lists. However, configuring multiple static RPs (using ip 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 224/4 (without ACL) or for specific group ranges (using ACL). For example, configuring ip pim rp-address 1.2.3.4 will configure static-RP 1.2.3.4 for the default group range 224/4. Configuring ip pim rp-address 5.6.7.8 grp-list will configure static-RP 5.6.7.8 for all the group ranges represented by Permit filters in grp-list ACL.
• If multiple static-RPs are available for a group range, then one with the highest IP address is chosen.
• Only permit filters in ACL are considered as valid group ranges. The default Permit filter 0.0.0.0/0 is converted to default multicast filter 224/4.
• When selecting static-RPs for a group range, the first element, with the static-RP with highest IP address, is chosen.
• Group mode and RP address mappings learned through BSR take precedence over mappings statistically defined by the ip pim rp-address command without the override keyword. Commands with the override keyword take precedence over dynamically learned mappings.
