ip pim rp-address

Configures a static PIM RP address for a group.

Syntax
ip pim [vrf vrf-name] rp-address address {group-address group-address mask} [override]
Parameters
  • vrf vrf-name—Enter the keyword vrf, then the name of the VRF.
  • rp-address address—Enter the keyword address, then the RP address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D).
  • group-address group-address mask—Enter the keyword group-address, then the group-address mask in dotted-decimal format (/xx) to assign the group address to the RP.
  • [override]—Overrides BSR updates with static RP for groups with the same prefix length.

Command Mode
CONFIGURATION
Usage Information
First hop routers use this address to send register packets on behalf of the source multicast hosts. The RP addresses are stored in the order in which they are entered. The RP is chosen based on a longer prefix match for a group. You can specify the range of group addresses for which a given node is configured as an RP. The RP selection does not depend on static or dynamic RP assignments.

If you have configured a static RP for a group, use the override option to override BSR updates with static RP configuration.

If you do not explicitly use the override option and:

  • The prefix length of the static RP is the same as the BSR RP, the BSR RP takes precedence over statically configured RP.
  • If the prefix length of the static RP and the BSR RP does not match, OS10 selects the router having the longest-match prefix as the RP.

The no form of this command removes static RP configuration.

Example
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# ip pim rp-address 171.1.1.1 group-address 225.1.1.3/32 override
Supported Releases
10.4.3.0 or later
