rp-candidate source-ip-interface

Description

Enables the Candidate Rendezvous Point (C-RP) operation, and configures the router to advertise itself as a C-RP to the Bootstrap Router (BSR) for the current domain.

This step includes the option to allow the C-RP to be a candidate for all possible multicast groups, or for up to four multicast groups, or ranges of groups. If group-prefix is not given, it considers for all multicast group addresses.

The no form of this command removes the C-RP configuration.

Command context

config-pim6

Parameters

<INTERFACE-NAME>

Specifies the interface to use as a source for the C-RP router IP address.

group-prefix <GRP-ADDR/GRP-MASK>

Specifies the multicast group range IPv6 address and mask for the RP. Format: X:X::X:X/M

Authority

Administrators

Examples

Configuring a C-RP using VLAN 40 as the source for the C-RP router IP address and associating the ff08::1:3/64 multicast group with the C-RP router:

switch(config)# router pim6
switch(config-pim6)# rp-candidate source-ip-interface vlan40 group-prefix ff08::1:3/64

Configuring a C-RP using loopback1 as the source for the C-RP router IP address and associating the ff08::1:3/64 multicast group with the C-RP router:

switch(config)# router pim6
switch(config-pim6)# rp-candidate source-ip-interface loopback1 group-prefix ff08::1:3/64

Removing the candidate source IP interface:

switch(config-pim6)# no rp-candidate source-ip-interface vlan20
