Configuring a Static Rendezvous Point
The rendezvous point (RP) is a PIM-enabled interface on a router that acts as the root a group-specific
tree; every group must have an RP.
• Identify an RP by the IP address of a PIM-enabled or Loopback interface.
ip pim rp-address
Example of Viewing an RP on a Loopback Interface
Dell#sh run int loop0
!
interface Loopback 0
ip address 1.1.1.1/32
ip pim sparse-mode
no shutdown
Dell#sh run pim
!
ip pim rp-address 1.1.1.1 group-address 224.0.0.0/4
Overriding Bootstrap Router Updates
PIM-SM routers must know the address of the RP for each group for which they have (*,G) entry.
This address is obtained automatically through the bootstrap router (BSR) mechanism or a static RP
configuration.
Use the following command if you have configured a static RP for a group. If you do not use the
override option with the following command, the RPs advertised in the BSR updates take precedence
over any statically configured RPs.
• Use the override option to override bootstrap router updates with your static RP configuration.
ip pim rp-address
Examples of Viewing the Rendezvous Point (Multicast Group) Information
