Specify the Address for the Static RP

This example advertises 10.1.0.2 as a static 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. Enable static RP.

   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim static-rp enable
   SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 5
   SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim componentId 1
   

3. 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)#
   

4. Configure the PIM component.

   SEFOS(config)# ip pim component 1
   

5. Configure the RP candidate.

   SEFOS(pim-comp)# rp-static rp-address 224.1.0.0  255.255.0.0  10.1.0.2
   SEFOS(pim-comp)# end
   SEFOS#
   

6. Ensure that the static RP configuration is correct.

   SEFOS# show ip pim rp-static 1
