Configures or removes a rendezvous point (RP) for Anycast RP using PIM (RFC 4610).
| ipv4 | Specifies IPv4 address family. |
| ipv6 | Specifies IPv6 address family. |
| anycast-rp | Specifies configuring Anycast RP. |
| ip_address | Specifies the Anycast RP address. |
| policy | Specifies the policy file having a list of IP addresses of peer RP nodes. These IP addresses should be specified using NLRI keyword. |
| none | Specifies removing an Anycast RP and associated policy containing peer information. |
N/A.
The Anycast RP using PIM feature provides fast convergence when RP routers fail using PIM protocol without using the source discovery protocol Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) for both IPv4 and IPv6 address families.
To view Anycast RP using PIM information, use the show pim {ipv4 | ipv6} anycast-rp {ip_address} command.
The following example specifies the router at IP address 10.45.7.12 as the Anycast RP with policy_file as the policy file with the list of peer Anycast RP nodes:
# configure pim ipv4 anycast-rp 10.45.7.12 policy_file
entry policy1 {
if match any{
nlri 10.10.10.1/32;
nlri 20.20.20.1/32;
nlri 30.30.30.1/32;
}
then {
permit;
}
}
The following example removes the RP router at IP address 10.45.7.12
# configure pim ipv4 anycast-rp 10.45.7.12 none
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 31.1.
This command is available on platforms that support the appropriate license for the PIM feature. For complete information about software licensing, including how to obtain and upgrade your license and which licenses support the PIM feature, see the Switch Engine v33.1.1 Licensing Guide .
