Use the no option to disable a timer that has been configured.
Configuring candidate RP
Enter a command such as the following to configure the device as a candidate RP.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-candidate ethernet 2/2
To configure the device as a candidate RP for a specified VRF, enter the commands as shown in the
following example.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-candidate ethernet 2/2
Syntax: [no] rp-candidate ethernet slot/portnum | loopback num | ve num
The ethernet slot/portnum | loopback num | ve num parameter specifies the interface. The device
will advertise the specified interface IP address as a candidate RP:
• Enter ethernet slot/portnum for a physical interface (port).
• Enter loopback num for a loopback interface.
• Enter ve num for a virtual interface.
To add address ranges for which the device is a candidate RP, enter commands such as the
following.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-candidate add ff02::200:2 64
To add address ranges for a specified VRF for which the device is a candidate RP, enter commands
such as the following.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-candidate add ff02::200:2 64
Syntax: [no] rp-candidate add group-ipv6 address mask-bits
You can delete the configured RP candidate group ranges by entering commands such as the
following.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-candidate delete ff02::200:1 128
You can delete the configured RP candidate group ranges for a specified VRF by entering
commands such as the following:
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-candidate delete ff02::200:1 128
Syntax: [no] rp-candidate delete group-ipv6 address mask-bits
The usage for the group-ipv6 address mask-bits parameter is the same as for the rp-candidate add
command.
Statically specifying the RP
It is recommended that you use the IPv6 PIM Sparse mode RP election process so that a backup
RP can automatically take over if the active RP router becomes unavailable. However, if you do not
want the RP to be selected by the RP election process but instead you want to explicitly identify the
RP by its IPv6 address, use the rp-address command.
If you explicitly specify the RP, the device uses the specified RP for all group-to-RP mappings and
overrides the set of candidate RPs supplied by the BSR.
