Configuring PIM for IPv4
– 844 –
All routers within the same PIM-SM domain must be configured with the
same RP(s). Selecting an RP through the dynamic election process is
therefore preferable for most situations. Using the dynamic RP election
process also allows a backup RP to automatically take over if the active
RP router becomes unavailable.
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
RP Address – Static IP address of the router that will be an RP for the
specified multicast group(s).
Group Address – An IP multicast group address. If a group address is
not specified, the RP is used for all multicast groups.
Group Mask – Subnet mask that is used for the group address.
WEB INTERFACE

1. Click Routing Protocol, PIM, PIM-SM.
2. Select RP Address from the Step list.
3. Specify the static RP to use for a multicast group, or a range of groups
by using a subnet mask.
