7.27.32 ip pim rp-address
This command sets a static address for the Rendezvous Point (RP) for a
particular multicast group. Use the no form to remove an RP address or an RP
address for a specific group.
Syntax
ip pim rp-address <rp-address> [<group-address mask>]
[override]
no ip pim rp-address <rp-address> [<group-address mask>]
• rp-address - The IP address of the router that will be an RP.
• group-address - An IP multicast group address. If a group
address is not specified, the RP is used for all multicast groups.
• mask - Subnet mask that is used for the group address.
• override - If there is a conflict, the static RP configured with this
command prevails over a dynamically learned RP.
Default Setting

Command Usage
• The router specified by ip pim rp-address command will act as an
RP for all multicast groups in the local PIM-SM domain if no group
address is specified, or for the specified group or group range (indicated
by the mask).
• All routers within the same PIM-SM domain must be configured with the
same RP(s). Selecting an RP through the dynamic election process is
therefore preferable for most situations. Using the dynamic RP election
process also allows a backup RP to automatically take over if the active
RP router becomes unavailable.
