Information
This address is used by first-hop routers to send Register packets on behalf of source
multicast hosts. 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,
RPs advertised by the BSR updates take precedence over the statically configured RPs.

Configure a PIM router to send out a Candidate-RP-Advertisement message to the Bootstrap
(BS) router or define group prefixes that are defined with the RP address to PIM BSR.
Syntax
