Static RP enables you to configure a static entry for a rendezvous point (RP). When configured, static RP ignores the BSR mechanism and uses the statically configured RPs only. This feature allows static RP-enabled 8000 Series switches to communicate with switches from other vendors that do not use the BSR mechanism.
For more information about static RP and other PIM-SM concepts, refer to Configuring IP Multicast Routing Protocols.
