Configuring a Loopback Interface as an RP

You can configure a loopback interface as either a static Rendezvous Point (RP) or a Candidate-Rendezvous Point (C-RP). To configure a static RP, perform the configuration on all the routers in the PIM-SM domain; to configure a C-RP, perform the configuration only on the routers where Anycast-RP is to be configured.

Procedure

Configure a static RP.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run pim [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
  The PIM view is displayed.
3. Run static-rp rp-address
  The loopback interface address is configured as a static RP address.
4. Run commit
  The configuration is committed.
Configure a C-RP.
Before configuring a C-RP, configure a Candidate-BootStrap Router (C-BSR) and a BSR boundary. The C-BSR address must be different from the C-RP address.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run pim [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
  The PIM view is displayed.
3. Run c-rp interface-type interface-number
  The loopback interface address is configured as a C-RP address.
4. Run commit
  The configuration is committed.
