PLANET XGS3-24042 - Manual (Page 897)

45-42
Function:
Configure the self-rp-address of this router (as a RP). This address will be used to exclusively
identify this router from other RP, and to communicate with other RP. The no operation of this
command will cancel the configured unicast address used by this router (as a RP) to communicate
with other RP.
Parameters:
self-rp-addr: The unicast address used by this router (as a RP) to communicate with other RP.
Command Mode:
Global Configuration Mode.
Default:
No self-rp-address is configured by default.
Usage Guide:
1. Once this router (as a RP) receives the register message from DR unicast, it needs to forward the
register message to all the other RP in the network, notifying them of the state of source (S.G).
While forwarding the register message, this router will change the source address of it into
self-rp-address.
2. Once this router(as a RP) receives a register message from other RP unicast, such as a register
message whose destination is the self-rp-address of this router, it will create (S,G) state and send
back a register-stop message, whose destination address is the source address of the register
message.
3. self-rp-address has to be the address of a three-layer interface on this router, but the
configuration is allowed to be done with the absence of the interface.
Example:
Configure the self-rp-address of this router in global configuration mode.
Switch(config)#ipv6 pim anycast-rp self-rp-address 2000::1
45.4.5 ipv6 pim rp-candidate
Command:
ipv6 pim rp-candidate {vlan<vlan-id> |loopback<index> |<ifname>} [<A:B::C:D>] [<priority>]
no ipv6 pim rp-candidate
Function:
Add a Loopback interface as a RP candidate interface based on the original PIM6-SM command;
the no operation of this command is to cancel the Loopback interface as a RP candidate interface.
Parameters:
index: Loopback interface index, whose range is <1-1024>.
vlan-id: the Vlan ID.
