no ipv6 pim rp-candidate
protocol can configure the Loopback interface
or a regular three-layer VLAN interface to be
the RP candidate. In make sure that PIM
routers in the network can find where the RP
locates, the RP candidate interface should be
added into the router.
No operation will cancel the RP candidate
configured on this router.
(2) Configure self-rp-address (the RP communication address of this router)
Command
Explanation
Global Configuration Mode
ipv6 pim anycast-rp self-rp-address
A:B::C:D
no ipv6 pim anycast-rp self-rp-address
Configure the self-rp-address of this router (as a
RP). This address can be used to exclusively
identify this router when communicating with
other RP.(necessary)
the effect of self-rp-address
refers to two
respects:
1 Once this router (as a RP) receives the register
message from a DR unicast, it needs to forward
the register message to all the other RP in the
network, notifying them of the state of source
(S.G). While forwarding the register message,
this router will change the source address of it
into self-rp-address.
2 Once this router(as a RP) receives a register
message from other RP unicast, such as a
register message whose destination is the
self-rp-address of this router, it will create (S,G)
state and send back a register-terminating
message, whose destination address is the
source address of the register message.
Pay attention: self-rp-
address has to be the
address of a three-layer interface on this router,
but the configuration is allowed to be done with
the absence of the interface. The self-rp-address
should be unique.
No operation will cancel the self-rp-address
which is used to communicate with other RP by
this router.
