PIM RP Address
This window is used to display and configure the static multicast groups to RP mapping. In a multicast domain, the
static multicast group to RP mapping can be used together with BSR. All routers in a domain should have a consistent
multicast group to RP mapping. The first hop router that initiates a register message will use the mapping entries to
determine the RP for sending the PIM register message destined for a specific group. The last hop router that initiates
a join message uses the mapping entries to determine the RP for sending the join and prune message for a specific
group. When a router receives a join message, it will check the mapping entries for forwarding of the message. When
a RP receives a register message, if the router is not the right RP for the multicast group, a register-stop message will
be sent.
Multiple RPs can be defined, each with a single access list.
