Configuring the Source RP Address of SA Messages

Context

To use the Anycast RP feature, configure multiple RPs with the same IP address in a PIM-SM domain and set up MSDP peer relationships between these RPs. When an MSDP peer performs RPF checks on received SA messages, it discards the messages sent from a remote RP with the same IP address as itself. To solve this problem, specify a logical RP address for SA messages on the switch on which you want to configure Anycast RP.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run msdp [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

    The MSDP view is displayed.

  3. Run originating-rp interface-type interface-number

    The address of the logical RP interface is configured as the source RP address of SA messages.

    The interface functioning as a logical RP cannot be an actual RP interface. It is recommended that you configure the address of the MSDP peer interface as the logical RP address.
