Enabling RP to Server Specic Multicast Groups
When you congure an RP candidate, its advertisement is sent to the entire multicast address range and the group-to-RP mapping is
advertised for the entire range of multicast address. Starting with Dell Networking OS 9.11.0.0, you can congure an RP candidate for a
specied range of multicast group address.
The Congured multicast group ranges are used by the BSR protocol to advertise the candidate RPs in the bootstrap messages.
You can congure the multicast group ranges as a standard ACL list of multicast prexes. You can then associate the congured group list
with the RP candidate.
NOTE
: • If there is no multicast group list congured for the RP-candidate, the RP candidate will be advertised for all the
multicast groups.
To enable an RP to serve specic group of multicast addresses, perform the following step:
Enter the following command to associate a multicast group to an RP candidate:
CONFIGURATION
ip pim [vrf vrf-name] rp-Candidate interface [priority] [acl-name]
The specied acl-list is associated to the rp-candidate.
NOTE
: You can create the ACL list of multicast prex using the ip access-list standard
command.
