No C-RPs are configured

4. Configure a legal C-RP address
range and the range of multicast
groups to be served.

Optional.
No restrictions by default.
NOTE:
• When you configure 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.
To enable auto-RP:

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 in the network.
Each C-RP encapsulates a timeout value in its C-RP-Adv messages. After 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 when this timer times out, the BSR assumes the C-RP
to have expired or become unreachable.
The C-RP timers need to be configured on C-RP routers.
