Configuring an Anycast-RP Peer

When sending a PIM Register message to all Anycast-Rendezvous Point (RP) peers, the local RP needs to use the peer addresses as the destination addresses of the Register message.

Context

The routers functioning as Anycast-RPs can be identified by the same logical address so that the RP in the PIM-SM domain is unique. However, the routers need to distinguish one another during the communication, so the Anycast-RP address cannot be used. To resolve this issue, configure Anycast-RP peers.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run pim-ipv6

    The PIM-IPv6 view is displayed.

  3. Run anycast-rp rp-address

    The IPv6 Anycast-RP view is displayed.

  4. Run peer peer-address

    An Anycast-RP peer is specified.

    peer-address: specifies the address of an Anycast-RP peer.

    In a PIM-SM domain, all Anycast-RP-capable devices must be fully connected. Anycast-RP peer relationships must be configured between every two Anycast-RPs.

  5. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
