PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ VLAN – Identifier of configured VLAN interface. (Range: 1-4094)
◆ Interval – The interval at which this device advertises itself as an RP
candidate. (Range: 60-16383 seconds; Default: 60 seconds)
◆ Priority – Priority used by the candidate RP in the election process.
The RP candidate with the largest priority is preferred. If the priority
values are the same, the candidate with the larger IP address is elected
to be the RP. Setting the priority to zero means that this router is not
eligible to server as the RP. (Range: 0-255; Default: 0)
◆ Group Address – An IP multicast group address. If not defined, the
default address is 224.0.0.0/4, or the entire IPv4 multicast group.
