IP Multicasting set pim rpcandidate 83
set pim rpcandidate
Syntax SET PIM RPCandidate GROup=group-address
[INTerface=interface] [MASK=ipaddress]
[PRIOrity=0..255]
where:
■ group-address is the IP address of the multicast group in dotted decimal
notation
■ ipaddress is an IP address in dotted decimal notation
■ interface is the name of a VLAN (e.g. vlan1) or a local interface (e.g. local1).
Description This command sets the rendezvous point candidate priority for the specified
multicast groups.
The group parameter specifies the multicast group or groups to which the
switch is a rendezvous point candidate.
The interface parameter specifies an interface for the switch to use when
advertising itself as the candidate rendezvous point for a multicast group. The
IP address of the of this interface is advertised by the switch. The interface
supplied can be either a configured local interface or a configured VLAN
interface. If the parameter is not specified, the switch advertises its first active
IP interface instead.
The mask parameter specifies the mask for the multicast group address
specified in the group parameter. This is useful when configuring multiple
multicast groups with a common rendezvous point (RP). The default mask is
255.255.255.255. The mask for a group cannot be modified.
The priority parameter specifies the preference for the switch to become the
rendezvous point for the multicast group. A lower value indicates a higher
priority. The default is 192.
Note that the switch has the same values for priority for all multicast groups
for which it is a rendezvous point candidate, so changing this switch’s priority
to be the RP for one group changes it for all groups.
Examples To change the switch’s RP candidate priority to 10 for the multicast group with
address 224.1.1.98, use the command:
set pim rpc gro=224.1.1.98 prio=10
