Use this command to enable the router to advertise itself as a PIM candidate rendezvous point (RP) to the BSR.
| pim-interface-address | IPv6 address of the interface to advertise as an RP candidate. With the exception of a loopback interface, the interface used as the RP candidate must be enabled with PIM as described in ipv6 pim sparse mode. |
| group-list group-list | Specifies a permit only standard access-list containing one or more IPv6 multicast group addresses. All non-permit multicast groups are ignored. |
| priority priority | Specifies an RP priority value, ranging from 0–255. Lower values assign higher priority. Default value: 192. |
If no group-list is specified, the specified RP candidate will not be active.
If no priority is specified when assigning a group-address or group-list, the priority defaults to 192.
Configuration command.
For each candidate RP, configure groups using a group-list. It is possible to configure a candidate RP without configuring a group list assigned to the RP, but a group list must be specified before this RP will be active. A group-list must exist before it may be used by this command. If a group-list referenced by this command is removed, that configuration will also be removed.
The “no” form of this command removes the candidate RP configuration for the assigned group-list, but resets the priority to the default of 192, if only the priority is specified.
This example enables the PIM interface at address 2001:11ac:fd34::7 to advertise itself as an RP candidate with a priority of 5:
System(su-config)->ipv6 pim rp-candidate 2001:11ac:fd34::7 priority 5
This example enables the PIM interface at address 2001:11ac:fd34::7 to advertise itself as an RP candidate with a priority of 5, for group addresses specified in the the pimrp standard access-list:
System(su-config)->ipv6 pim rp-candidate 2001:11ac:fd34::7 group-list pimrp priority 5
