Figure 34-5.  Electing a Rendezvous Point
Override Bootstrap Router Updates
PIM-SM routers need to know the address of the RP for each group for which they have (*,G) entry. This 
address is obtained automatically through the bootstrap router (BSR) mechanism or a static RP 
configuration.
If you have configured a static RP for a group, use the option 
override
 with the command [
ip | ipv6
]
 pim 
rp-address 
to override bootstrap router updates with your static RP configuration. If you do not use this 
option, the RPs advertised in the BSR updates take precedence over any statically configured RPs.
Display the assigned RP for a group using the command
 show 
[
ip | ipv6
]
 pim rp
 from EXEC privilege 
mode, as shown in
