Optional
No restrictions by default
NOTE:
• When configuring a C-RP, ensure a relatively large bandwidth between this C-RP and the other devices
in the PIM-SM domain.
• An RP can serve multiple multicast groups or all multicast groups. Only one RP can forward multicast
traffic for a multicast group at a moment.
3. Enabling auto-RP
Auto-RP announcement and discovery messages are addressed to the multicast group addresses
224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40 respectively. With auto-RP enabled on a device, the device can receive these
two types of messages and record the RP information carried in such messages.
Follow these steps to enable auto-RP:

Enter public instance PIM view pim —

Required
Disabled by default
4. Configuring C-RP timers globally
To enable the BSR to distribute the RP-set information within the PIM-SM domain, C-RPs must periodically
send C-RP-Adv messages to the BSR. The BSR learns the RP-set information from the received messages,
and encapsulates its own IP address together with the RP-set information in its bootstrap messages. The
BSR then floods the bootstrap messages to all PIM routers (224.0.0.13) in the network.
Each C-RP encapsulates a timeout value in its C-RP-Adv messages. Upon receiving a C_RP-Adv message,
the BSR obtains this timeout value and starts a C-RP timeout timer. If the BSR fails to hear a subsequent
C-RP-Adv message from the C-RP within the timeout interval, the BSR assumes the C-RP to have expired
or become unreachable.
The C-RP timers need to be configured on C-RP routers.
Follow these steps to configure C-RP timers globally:
