other routers and organizes the information into an RP-set, which is flooded throughout the entire
network. Then, the other routers in the network calculate the mappings between specific group ranges
and the corresponding RPs based on the RP-set. HP recommends that you configure C-RPs on backbone
routers.
To guard against C-RP spoofing, you must configure a legal C-RP address range and the range of IPv6
multicast groups to be served on the BSR. In addition, because every C-BSR can become the BSR, be
sure to configure the same filtering policy on all C-BSRs in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
Follow these steps to configure a C-RP:

No C-RPs are configured by
default.

crp-policy acl6-number
Optional
No restrictions by default.
NOTE:
• When configuring a C-RP, ensure a relatively large bandwidth between this C-RP and the other
devices in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
• An RP can serve multiple IPv6 multicast
roups or all IPv6 multicast
roups. Only one RP can forward
IPv6 multicast traffic for an IPv6 multicast group at a moment.
Enabling embedded RP
With the embedded RP feature enabled, the router can resolve the RP address directly from the IPv6
multicast group address of an IPv6 multicast packets. This RP can replace the statically configured RP or
the RP dynamically calculated based on the BSR mechanism. Therefore, the DR does not need to identify
the RP address beforehand.
Follow these steps to enable embedded RP:
To do... Use the command... Remarks
Enter system view
system-view —
Enter IPv6 PIM view
pim ipv6 —
Enable embedded RP
embedded-rp [ acl6-number ]
Optional
By default, embedded RP is
enabled for IPv6 multicast groups
in the default embedded RP
address scopes.
NOTE:
The default embedded RP address scopes are FF7x::/12 and FFFx::/12. Here “x” refers to any legal
address scope. For more information about the Scope field, see the chapter “Multicast overview.”
