ipv6 pim rp-address
Configure a static PIM rendezvous point (RP) address for a group. First-hop routers use this address to send register packets
on behalf of the source multicast host.
Syntax
ipv6 pim rp-address address group-address group-address mask override
To remove an RP address, use the no ipv6 pim re-address address group-address mask
override command.
Parameters
address Enter the IPv6 RP address in the x:x:x:x::x format.
NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zero.
group-address
group-address
mask
Enter the keywords group-address then the group address in the x:x:x:x::x
format and then the mask in /nn format to assign that group address to the RP.
NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zero.
override Enter the keyword override to override the BSR updates with static RP. The
override takes effect immediately during enable/disable.
NOTE: This option is applicable to multicast group range.
Defaults none

Usage
Information
The RP addresses are stored in the order in which they are entered. RP addresses learned via BSR take
priority over static RP addresses.
Without the override option, the BSR-advertised RPs updates take precedence over the statically
configured RPs.

to 16383.
● For a Port Channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a

● For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
● For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.
