priority over static RP addresses. Without the override option, RPs advertised by the BSR updates
take precedence over the statically configured RPs.

To send out a Candidate-RP-Advertisement message to the bootstrap (BS) router or define group prefixes that are defined with
the RP address to PIM BSR, configure a PIM router.
