Example 2: PIM-SM with Static RP

The following commands can be used to modify the prior example configuration to use a static RP:

RS G8124(config)# ip pim static-rp enable

RS G8124(config)# ip pim component 1

RS G8124(config-ip-pim-comp)# rp-staticrp-address 225.1.0.0

255.255.0.0 10.10.1.1

RS G8124(config-ip-pim-comp)# exit

Where 225.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 is the multicast group base address and mask, and 10.10.1.1 is the RP candidate address.

Note – The same static RP address should be configured for all switches in the group.

Example 3: PIM-DM

This example configures PIM Dense Mode (PIM-DM) on one IP interface. PIM-DM can be configured independently, or it can be combined with the prior PIM-SM examples (which are configured on a different PIM component) as shown in Figure 38.
