Chapter 44 Configuring IP Multicast Routing

Configuring IP Multicast Routing

To remove an RP address, use the no ip pim rp-address ip-address [access-list-number] [override]
global configuration command.

This example shows how to configure the address of the RP to 147.106.6.22 for multicast
group 225.2.2.2 only:

Switch(config)# access-list 1 permit 225.2.2.2 0.0.0.0

Switch(config)# ip pim rp-address 147.106.6.22 1

Configuring Auto-RP

Auto-RP uses IP multicast to automate the distribution of group-to-RP mappings to all Cisco routers and
multilayer switches in a PIM network. It has these benefits:

•

It is easy to use multiple RPs within a network to serve different group ranges.

•

It provides load splitting among different RPs and arrangement of RPs according to the location of
group participants.

•

It avoids inconsistent, manual RP configurations on every router and multilayer switch in a PIM
network, which can cause connectivity problems.

Follow these guidelines when configuring Auto-RP:

•

If you configure PIM in sparse mode or sparse-dense mode and do not configure Auto-RP, you must
manually configure an RP as described in the

“Manually Assigning an RP to Multicast Groups”

section on page 44-25

.

•

If routed interfaces are configured in sparse mode, Auto-RP can still be used if all devices are
configured with a manual RP address for the Auto-RP groups.

•

If routed interfaces are configured in sparse mode and you enter the ip pim autorp listener global
configuration command, Auto-RP can still be used even if all devices are not configured with a
manual RP address for the Auto-RP groups.

These sections describe how to configure Auto-RP:

•

•

For overview information, see the

“Auto-RP” section on page 44-7

.

Setting up Auto-RP in a New Internetwork

If you are setting up Auto-RP in a new internetwork, you do not need a default RP because you configure
all the interfaces for sparse-dense mode. Follow the process described in the

“Adding Auto-RP to an

Existing Sparse-Mode Cloud” section on page 44-27

. However, omit Step 3 if you want to configure a

PIM router as the RP for the local group.

Step 5

show running-config

Verify your entries.

Step 6

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
