Parameters
• vrf vrf-name—Enter the keyword vrf, then the name of the VRF.
• rp-address address—Enter the keyword address, then the RP address in dotted-decimal format
(A.B.C.D).
• group-address group-address mask—Enter the keyword group-address, then the group-
address mask in dotted-decimal format (/xx) to assign the group address to the RP.
•
[override]—Overrides BSR updates with static RP for groups with the same prex length.
Default None
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage Information First hop routers use this address to send register packets on behalf of the source multicast hosts. The RP
addresses are stored in the order in which they are entered. The RP is chosen based on a longer prex match for a
group. You can specify the range of group addresses for which a given node is congured as an RP. The RP
selection does not depend on static or dynamic RP assignments.
If you have congured a static RP for a group, use the override option to override BSR updates with static RP
conguration.
If you do not explicitly use the override option and:
• The prex length of the static RP is the same as the BSR RP, the BSR RP takes precedence over statically
congured RP.
• If the prex length of the static RP and the BSR RP does not match, OS10 selects the router having the
longest-match prex as the RP.
The no form of this command removes static RP conguration.
Example
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# ip pim rp-address 171.1.1.1 group-address 225.1.1.3/32 override
Supported Releases 10.4.3.0 or later
