pim rp-address

The pim rp-addresscommand configures the address of a static PIM rendezvous point (RP) for a particular group. The no pim rp-addresscommand removes an RP address for a particular group.

Note: You must configure the IP address of RPs on all routers (including the RP router) if you use static RP.

First-hop routers send register packets to the RP address on behalf of source multicast hosts. Routers also use this address on behalf of multicast hosts that want to become members of a group. These routers send Join and Prune messages towards the RP. The RP must be a PIM router but does not require any special configuration to recognize that it is the RP. RPs are not members of the multicast group but serve as a "meeting place" for multicast sources and group members. You can configure a single RP for more than one group. The access list determines which groups the RP can be used for. If no access list is configured, the RP is used for all groups. A PIM router can use multiple RPs, but only one per group. Statically configured RP will take precedence over RP learned though a dynamic mechanism such as the bootstrap mechanism.
