o override - Sets the precedence of statically congured RP higher
than dynamically learned RPs. Not set by default.
Next Available Option:
■ IP-ADDR -- Specify the IP address of the static RP. (IP-ADDR) (p. 416)
rp-candidate
■ [no] router pim rp-candidate
Usage: rp-candidate [source-ip-vlan <VLAN-ID>]
[group-prex <GROUP-ADDR/GROUP-MASK>]
[hold-time <30-255>]
[priority <0-255>]
no rp-candidate [source-ip-vlan <VLAN-ID>]
[group-prex <GROUP-ADDR/GROUP-MASK>]
Description: Congure router to advertise itself as the Candidate
Rendezvous Point (Candidate-RP) to the Bootstrap Router (BSR).
When enabling router to be a Candidate-RP the VLAN ID must
be specied, which IP address will be advertised as a
Candidate-RP's IP address. PIM-SM must be enabled on the VLAN.
If GROUP-ADDR/GROUP-MASK is not specied the router will be a
Candidate-RP for all multicast groups. Use 'no' form of this
command to remove specic multicast group or disable the router
to be a Candidate-RP.
NOTE: It is recommended that the same routing switch is congured
as the Candidate-BSR and the Candidate-RP.
Parameters:
o source-ip-vlan <VLAN-ID> - The VLAN which IP address will be advertised
as the Candidate-RP address.
o group-prex <GROUP-ADDR/GROUP-MASK> - The address and mask that specify
the multicast group(s) the router uses to advertise in association
with the Candidate-RP address.
o hold-time <3-255> - The hold time value (in seconds) to be send to the
BSR in C-RP-Adv messages. This tells the BSR for how long it
should consider the sending Candidate-RP router to be operative.
The default is 150 seconds.
Note: This value is set to '0' when local system is not a
Candidate-RP.
o priority <0-255> - The priority for the Candidate-RP router for the
local PIM-SM domain. The smaller value means the higher priority.
The default is 192.
Next Available Options:
■ hold-time < 30 to 255 > -- Specify the hold time value to be send in C-RP-Adv messages. (p.
416)
■ priority < 0 to 255 > -- Specify the priority for the Candidate-RP router. (p. 420)
■ source-ip-vlan -- Specify the VLAN to use as a source for Candidate-RP router IP address
(PIM-SM must be enabled on this VLAN). (VLAN-ID) (p. 424)
■ group-prefix -- Specify the multicast group prefix to associate with the Candidate-RP router.
