Step 10 Switch(config)# ip pim send-rp-discovery
[interface-type interface-number] scope
ttl-value [interval seconds]
Configures the router to be an RP mapping agent.
Perform this step on the RP router only.
Use the optional interface-type and interface-number
arguments to define which IP address is to be used as
the source address of the RP mapping agent.
Use the scope keyword and ttl-value argument to
specify the Time-to-Live (TTL) value in the IP header
of Auto-RP discovery messages.
Use the optional interval keyword and seconds
argument to specify the interval at which Auto-RP
discovery messages are sent.
Note Lowering the interval at which Auto-RP discovery
messages are sent from the default value of 60
seconds results in more frequent floodings of the
group-to-RP mappings. In some network
environments, the disadvantages of lowering the
interval (more control packet overhead) may
outweigh the advantages (more frequent
Requirementsgroup-to-RP mapping updates).
The example shows limiting the Auto-RP discovery
messages to 31 hops on loopback interface 1.
Step 11 Switch(config)# ip pim rp-announce-filter
rp-list access-list group-list access-list Filters incoming Auto-RP announcement messages coming
from the RP.
Perform this step on the RP router only.
Two example access lists that apply to this step could
be:
access-list 1 permit 10.0.0.1
access-list 1 permit 10.0.0.2
access-list 2 permit 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255
Step 12 Switch(config)# interface type number Selects an interface that is connected to hosts on which PIM
can be enabled.
Step 13 Switch(config-if)# interface ethernet 1
ip multicast boundary access-list
[filter-autorp]
Configures an administratively scoped boundary.
Perform this step on the interfaces that are boundaries
to other routers.
The access list is not shown in this task.
An access list entry that uses the deny keyword creates
a multicast boundary for packets that match that entry.
Step 14 Switch(config-if)# end Returns to EXEC mode.
Step 15 Switch# show ip pim autorp (Optional) Displays the Auto-RP information.
Step 16 Switch# show ip pim rp [mapping] [rp-address](Optional) Displays RPs known in the network and shows
how the router learned about each RP.
