Configuring a C-RP

A loopback interface is configured as a Candidate-RP (C-RP) on the device to be configured with anycast Rendezvous Point (RP).

Context

  • If the PIM-SM network uses a static RP, the configuration is not necessary.

  • If the PIM-SM network uses a BSR-RP, the configuration is mandatory. Before configuring a C-RP, configure a bootstrap router (BSR) and BSR boundary. The BSR address cannot be the same as the C-RP address.

Perform the following steps on multiple FWs where anycast RP is to be configured in the PIM-SM domain:

Procedure

  1. Access the system view.

  2. Access the PIM view.
