DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
configure
Example:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router# configure
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
router pim vrf vrf-name address-family {ipv4 |
ipv6}
Example:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router pim vrf
vrf_A address-family ipv4
Enters PIM address-family configuration submode and
configures the PIM VRF for either an IPv4 or IPv6 address
family.
Step 3
rp-address ip-address [group-access-list-name]
[bidir] [override]
Example:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-vrf_A-ipv4)#
rp-address 10.0.0.0
Configures the PIM rendezvous point (RP) address:
• group-access-list-name = Specifies an access list of
groups to be mapped to a given RP.
• bidir = Specifies a bidirectional RP.
• override = Specifies that a static RP configuration
should override auto-RP and the bootstrap router
(BSR).
Step 4
end
or
commit
Example:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-vrf_A-ipv4)# end
or
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-vrf_A-ipv4)#
commit
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before
exiting (yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
–
Entering yes saves configuration changes to the
running configuration file, exits the configuration
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
–
Entering no exits the configuration session and
returns the router to EXEC mode without
committing the configuration changes.
–
Entering cancel leaves the router in the current
configuration session without exiting or
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration
changes to the running configuration file and remain
within the configuration session.
