(Optional) Specifying the Source Address for Sending Register Messages

Specify the source address for sending Register messages on all devices that may become source's DRs. In this manner, registration errors will not occur due to repeated IP addresses on the network or filtered IP addresses.

Context

Generally, the source address for sending Register messages is the IP address of the interface connecting the source's DR to the multicast source. An error occurs if the source address for sending Register messages is not unique for the Rendezvous Point (RP) on the network or has been filtered out. To solve the problem, specify a proper interface IP address as the source address for sending Register messages.
