will  create  (S,G)  state  and  send  back  a  register-
terminating  message,  whose  destination  address  is  the 
source address of the register message.  
Pay attention: self-rp-address has to be the address of a 
three-layer interface on this router, but  the configuration 
is allowed to be done with the absence of the interface. 
The self-rp-address should be unique. 
No operation will cancel the self-rp-address which is used 
to communicate with other RP by this router. 
(3) Configure other-rp-address (other RP communication addresses) 
Command 
Explanation 
Global Configuration Mode 
ipv6 pim anycast-rp <anycast-
rp-addr> <other-rp-addr> 
no ipv6 pim anycast-rp 
<anycast-rp-addr> <other-rp-
addr> 
Configure anycast-rp-addr on this router (as a RP). This 
unicast address is actually the RP address configured on 
multiple  RP  in  the  network,  in  accordance  with  the 
address  of  RP  candidate  interface  (or  Loopback 
interface). 
The effect of anycast-rp-addr includes: 
1 Although more than one anycast-rp-addr addresses are 
allowed to be configured, only the one having the same 
address  with  the  currently  configured  RP  candidate 
address will take effect. Only after that, can the other-rp-
address  in  accordance  with  this  anycast-rp-addr  take 
effect. 
2  The  configuration  is  allowed  to  be  done  with  the 
absence of the interface in accordance with the anycast-
rp-addr. 
Configure on this router (as a RP) the other-rp-addresses 
of other RP communicating with it. This unicast address 
identifies other RP and is used in the communication with 
local routers. 
The effect of other-rp-address refers to two respects: 
1  Once  this  router  (as  a  RP)  receives  the  register 
message from a DR unicast, it should forward it to other 
RP in the network to notify  all the RP in the network of 
the  source  (S.G)  state. While forwarding,  the router  will 
change the destination address of the register message 
into other-rp-address.
