ip pim rp-candidate

To configure the router to advertise itself to the bootstrap router (BSR) as a Protocol Independent

Multicast (PIM) Version 2 candidate rendezvous point (RP), use the ip pim rp-candidate command in

global configuration mode. To remove this router as an RP candidate, use the no form of this command.

ip pim [vrf vrf-name] rp-candidate interface-type interface-number [group-list access-list]

[interval seconds] [priority value]

no ip pim [vrf vrf-name] rp-candidate

Syntax Description

Command Default The command is disabled.

seconds: 60

priority: 0

Note The Cisco IOS implementation of PIM BSR uses the value 0 as the default priority for candidate RPs

and BSRs. This implementation predates the draft-ietf-pim-sm-bsr IETF draft, the first IETF draft to

specify 192 as the default priority value. The Cisco IOS implementation, thus, deviates from the IETF

draft. To comply with the default priority value specified in the draft, you must explicitly set the priority

value to 192.

Command Modes Global configuration

from 1 to 16383 seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.
