Configure a static RP
static-rp ipv6-rp-address
[ acl6-number ] [ preferred ]
Required
No static RP by default
CAUTION:
To enable a static RP to work normally, you must perform this configuration on all routers in the IPv6
PIM-SM domain and specify the same RP address.
Configuring a C-RP
In an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, you can configure routers that intend to become the RP as C-RPs. The BSR
collects the C-RP information by receiving the C-RP-Adv messages from C-RPs or auto-RP announcements
from other routers and organizes the information into an RP-Set, which is flooded throughout the entire
network. Then, the other routers in the network calculate the mappings between specific group ranges
and the corresponding RPs based on the RP-Set. We recommend that you configure C-RPs on backbone
routers.
To guard against C-RP spoofing, you need to configure a legal C-RP address range and the range of IPv6
multicast groups to be served on the BSR. In addition, because every C-BSR has a chance to become the
BSR, you need to configure the same filtering policy on all C-BSRs in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.

[ { group-policy acl6-number |
scope scope-id } | priority

Required
No C-RPs are configured by

Configure a legal C-RP address

multicast groups to be served
crp-policy acl6-number
Optional
No restrictions by default
NOTE:
•
When configuring a C-RP, ensure a relatively large bandwidth between this C-RP and the other devices
in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
•
An RP can serve multiple IPv6 multicast groups or all IPv6 multicast groups. Only one RP can forward
IPv6 multicast traffic for an IPv6 multicast group at a moment.
