Configuring the RP Router

This example shows a static RP configuration. Add the address statement at the [edit protocols pim rp local] hierarchy level.

For all interfaces, use the mode statement to set the mode to sparse, and use the version statement to set the PIM version to 2 at the [edit protocols PIM rp interface all] hierarchy level. When configuring all interfaces, exclude the fxp0.0 management interface by adding the disable statement for that interface.

Note: You do not need to configure Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) version 2 for a sparse mode configuration. After enabling PIM, by default, IGMP version 2 is also enabled.

protocols {
pim {
interface all {
mode sparse;
version 2;
}
interface fxp0.0 {
disable;
}
rp {
local {
family inet {
address 192.168.3.253;
}
}
}
}
}
