HP VPN Firewall Appliances Network Management Command Reference
661
When the ACL rule applied on a static RP changes, a new RP must be elected for all the multicast groups.
You can configure multiple static RPs by using this command repeatedly. However, if you execute this
command multiple times and specify the same static RP address or reference the same ACL rule, the last
configuration overrides the previous one. If you have configured multiple static RPs for the same multicast
group, the one that has the highest IP address serves the multicast group.
You can configure up to 50 static RPs on the same device.
Examples
# On the public network, configure the interface with the IP address 11.110.0.6 to be a static RP that
serves the multicast groups in the address range of 225.1.1.0/24 defined in basic ACL 2001, and give
priority to this static RP in the case of static/dynamic RP conflict.
