Huawei quidway s7700 - Optional) Configuring a Static RP

The interface can be a VLANIF interface, or an Loopback interface.
Step 3 Run:
pim sm
PIM SM is enabled.
After PIM SM is enabled on the interface and PIM neighbor relationships are set up between
switches, the packets from the PIM neighbors can be processed.

6.3.4 (Optional) Configuring a Static RP
When only one RP exists in the network, you can manually configure a static RP rather than a
dynamic RP. This can save the bandwidth occupied by message exchange between the C-RP
and the BSR. The configurations about the static RP should be the same on all the devices in a
PIM-SM domain.
Context
CAUTION
When the static RP and the dynamic RP are configured in the PIM-SM at the same time, faults
may occur in the network. So, confirm the action before you run the command. If you want to
use only the dynamic RP in the PIM-SM network, skip the configuration.
Do as follows on all switchs in a PIM-SM domain. The switchs where static RP is not configured
cannot participate in multicast forwarding in this PIM-SM domain.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
pim [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
The PIM view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
static-rp rp-address [ basic-acl-number | acl-name acl-name ] [ preferred ]
The static RP is specified.
You can run the command repeatedly to configure multiple static RPs for the switch.
NOTE
All switchs in the PIM-SM area must be configured with the same static-rp command.
l rp-address: specifies the static RP address.
