Configuring an RP Router for PIM Sparse Mode and PIM Sparse-Dense Mode

When you use the router for PIM sparse mode or PIM sparse-dense mode, some VRs must act as RP routers. You can configure static RP routers or configure the router to assign RP routers automatically.

To configure the router to assign RP routers automatically, you must define several VRs as RP routers and one VR as an RP mapping agent. RP routers send their announcement messages to the RP mapping agent, which assigns groups to RP routers and resolves any conflicts. The RP mapping agent notifies neighbors of the RP assigned to each group.
