Configuring C-RPs

About C-RP configuration

To avoid C-RP spoofing, configure a C-RP policy to filter C-RP advertisement messages by using an ACL that specifies the packet source address range and multicast group addresses.

Restrictions and guidelines

Configure C-RPs on devices that reside in the backbone network.

Because the RP and other devices exchange a large amount of information in the PIM-SM domain, reserve a large bandwidth between C-RPs and other devices.

You must configure the same C-RP policy on all C-BSRs in the PIM-SM domain because every C-BSR might become the BSR.

Procedure

  1. Enter system view.

    system-view

  2. Enter PIM view.

    pim [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

  3. Configure a C-RP.

    c-rp ip-address [ advertisement-interval adv-interval | group-policy ipv4-acl-number | holdtime hold-time | priority priority ] *

  4. (Optional.) Configure a C-RP policy.

    crp-policy ipv4-acl-number

    By default, no C-RP policies are configured. All C-RP advertisement messages are regarded as legal.
