PIM Candidate RP tab fields


Field Description
GroupAddress
The IP address of the multicast group. When combined with the group mask, it identifies the prefix that the local router uses to advertise itself as a C-RP.
GroupMask
The address mask of the multicast group. When combined with the group address, it identifies the prefix that the local router uses to advertise itself as a C-RP.
Address
The IP address of the C-RP. This address has to be one of the local PIM-SM enabled interfaces.

You can only configure one interface on an 8000 Series switch for multiple groups, that is, you cannot configure multiple interfaces for multiple groups.

The GroupMask value allows you to configure a Candidate RP for several groups in one configuration. For example, a Candidate RP configuration with a GroupAddress value of 224.0.0.0 and a GroupMask of 240.0.0.0 allows you to configure the Candidate RP for a multicast range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
