Configure the RP Static Address

Static configuration allows additional structuring of the multicast traffic by directing the multicast join or prune messages to statically configured RPs.

1. Associate the VLAN 7 interface with the PIMv6 component 1.

   SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 7
   SEFOS(config-if)# ipv6 pim componentId 1
   SEFOS(config-if)# end

2. Enable the static-RP configuration for the router.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim static-rp enable

3. Enter the PIMv6 component mode for the component (2 in this example).

   SEFOS(config)# ip pim component 2

4. Set the RP static RP address (7777::11) with a mask length of 128 for group ff02::e001:1 in PIMv6 component 1.

   This step uses the following parameters:

   • RP address: 7777::11

   • Mask length: 128

   • Group address: ff02::e001:1

   SEFOS(pim-comp)# ipv6 pim rp-static rp-address ff02::e001:1 128 7777::11
   SEFOS(pim-comp)# end

5. Review the RP static RP address.

   SEFOS# show ipv6 pim rp-static 2
