loopback loopback-interface-number | vlan vlan-number | port-channel port-
channel-number} [priority priority-value] [acl acl-name]
Parameters
● vrf vrf-name—Enter the keyword vrf, then the name of the VRF
● loopback-interface-number—Enter a value from 0 to 16383
● vlan-number—Enter a value from 1 to 4093
● port-channel-number—Enter a value from 1 to 128
● priority-value—Enter a value from 0 to 255
● acl-name—Standard ACL name
Default Priority is 192.
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
Specify the interface to obtain the candidate RP address. The access-list acl-name adds a range of
group addresses that this candidate RP can serve.
If you do not specify an access list, the C-RP advertises itself to the entire multicast range, 224.0.0.0./4.
If you specify an access list, the C-RP advertises only the group range that the access list permits.
The no form of the command removes the router from being a C-RP. You must specify the parameters
with the no form of this command.
Example
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# ip pim vrf red rp-candidate loopback 10 priority 11 acl

ip pim rp-candidate-timers
Configures the time interval between periodic candidate RP advertisements.
Syntax
ip pim [vrf vrf-name] rp-candidate-timers {ethernet node/slot/
port[:subport] | loopback loopback-interface-number | vlan vlan-number |
port-channel port-channel-number} {advt-interval interval-value} [hold-time
hold-time-value]
Parameters
● vrf vrf-name—Enter the keyword vrf, then the name of the VRF
● loopback-interface-number—Enter a value from 0 to 16383
● vlan-number—Enter a value from 1 to 4093
● port-channel-number—Enter a value from 1 to 128
● interval-value—Enter a value from 1 to 26214
● hold-time-value—Enter a value from 1 to 65535
NOTE: The hold time must be greater than the advertisement interval.
Default
● Advertisement interval is 60 s.
● Hold time value is 150 s.
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
Use this command to adjust the interval between candidate RP advertisements. The advertised RP
entries remain in the node until the hold time value expires. Dell Technologies recommends configuring
the hold time value to be 2.5 times the advertisement interval. The no form of the command resets the
candidate RP timers to the default values.
