[edit protocols pim rp local family],
[edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols pim rp local family]

Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

This router's priority for becoming an RP. The bootstrap router uses this field when selecting the list of candidate RPs to send in the bootstrap message. A smaller number increases the likelihood that the router becomes the RP for local multicast groups. A priority value of 0 means that bootstrap router can override the group range being advertised by the candidate RP.

Options

number—Router's priority for becoming an RP. A lower value corresponds to a higher priority.

Range: 0 through 255
Default: 1

Usage Guidelines

See Configuring the Router's Local RP Properties.
