Usage
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 using BSR take priority over static RP addresses.
Without the override option, RPs advertised by the BSR updates take precedence
over the statically configured RPs.
ip pim rp-candidate
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.
S5000
Syntax
ip pim rp-candidate {interface [priority]
To return to the default value, use the no ip pim rp-candidate {interface
[priority] command.
