Viewing RP Set Parameters

View the RP set to see a list of rendezvous point addresses. The BSR constructs this list from C-RP advertisements, and then distributes it to all PIM routers in the PIM domain for the BSR. View the parameters for troubleshooting purposes.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP.
  2. Select PIM.
  3. Select the RP Set tab.
