Description
ip pim rp-address A.B.C.D
[<1-
99> | <1300-1999>] [
override
]
Global
Specifies an RP address for multicast groups.
A.B.C.D: RP address
1-99: IP standard access list
1300-1999: IP standard access list (extended range)
no ip pim rp-address A.B.C.D
Deletes a specified RP address for multicast groups
When the static RP and the RP elected through the BSR are both available for a multicast
group, the one elected through the BSR is chosen by default. If you, however, want to
choose the static RP for a multicast group in that situation, use the
override
option that
gives the higher priority to the static RP.
Anycast RP
Using Anycast RP is an implementation strategy that provides load sharing and redun-
dancy in Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) networks. Anycast RP
allows two or more rendezvous points (RPs) to share the load for source registration and
the ability to act as hot backup routers for each other.
To specify an anycast RP address to provide redundancy and RP load sharing, use the
following command.

A.B.C.D
Global
Configures the shared anycast address
A.B.C.D: anycast RP address
A.B.C.D: anycast member RP address
no ip pim anycast-rp A.B.C.D
A.B.C.D
Deletes a specified anycast RP address
A.B.C.D: anycast RP address
A.B.C.D: anycast member RP address
Keep Alive Time
After a multicast source registers with the RP, the DR of the multicast source periodically
sends the PIM null-register message to the RP to keep the (S, G) state between the rout-
er and RP. The null-register message is the one without encapsulated multicast traffic. If
there is no null-register message during a given keep alive time (KAT), the multicast rout-
ing entry with (S, G) state is expired, and the source registration process will restart.
To specify the keep alive time for (S, G) states at the RP, use the following command.
Command
Mode
Description
ip pim rp-register-kat
<1-65535>
Global
Specifies the KAT for (S, G) states at the RP.
1-65535: KAT value(unit: second)
no ip pim rp-register-kat
Deletes the specified KAT value.
Interface for Candidate RP
To elect the RP, each candidate RP sends its information to the BSR. This advertisement
