Specify the Address for the Candidate RP

This example advertises 10.1.0.1 as a candidate RP on PIM component 1, with a group address of 224.1.0.0 and a group mask of 255.255.0.0.

1. Enable PIM globally.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim enable
   

2. Enter Interface Configuration mode for the interface.

   SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 5
   

3. Associate the VLAN interface with the PIM component.

   SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim componentId 1
   

4. Specify how often (in seconds) the switch sends PIM messages to the interface.

   SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim query-interval 60
   SEFOS(config-if)# exit
   SEFOS(config)#
   

5. Configure the PIM component 1.

   SEFOS(config)# ip pim component 1
   

6. Configure the RP-candidate values.

   SEFOS(pim-comp)# rp-candidate rp-address 224.1.0.0  255.255.0.0  10.1.0.1
   SEFOS(pim-comp)# end
   

7. Ensure that the correct RP-candidate values are set.

   SEFOS# show ip pim rp-candidate 1
