By using a standards track protocol in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which includes
configuring PIMv2 BSR .
You can use Auto-RP, BSR, or a combination of both, depending on the PIM version that you are running
and the types of routers in your network. For information about working with different PIM versions in
your network, see PIMv1 and PIMv2 Interoperability, on page 122.

Manually Assigning an RP to Multicast Groups (CLI)
If the rendezvous point (RP) for a group is learned through a dynamic mechanism (such as Auto-RP or BSR),
you need not perform this task for that RP.
Senders of multicast traffic announce their existence through register messages received from the source
first-hop router (designated router) and forwarded to the RP. Receivers of multicast packets use RPs to join
a multicast group by using explicit join messages.
RPs are not members of the multicast group; they serve as a meeting place for multicast sources and group
members.
Note
You can configure a single RP for multiple groups defined by an access list. If there is no RP configured for
a group, the multilayer device responds to the group as dense and uses the dense-mode PIM techniques.
This procedure is optional.
