Configuring a Rendezvous Point
You must have a rendezvous point (RP), if the interface is in sparse-dense mode and if you want to handle
the group as a sparse group. You can use several methods, as described in these sections:
•
Manual assignment
For information about this procedure, see Manually Assigning an RP to Multicast Groups, on page 48
•
As a standalone, Cisco-proprietary protocol separate from PIMv1
For information about these procedures, see the following sections:
◦
Setting Up Auto-RP in a New Internetwork, on page 50
◦
Adding Auto-RP to an Existing Sparse-Mode Cloud, on page 52
◦

•
Using a standards track protocol in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
