Verifying Bidirectional Groups
To verify configuration of bidirectional groups, use the following show commands:
•
To examine RP-to-group mappings and determine the bidirectional groups advertised by an RP, use
the show ip pim rp mapping command in EXEC mode.
the show ip pim rp mapping command in EXEC mode.
•
To display the IP multicast routing table information for groups operating in bidirectional mode,
sparse mode, and dense mode, use the show ip mroute command in EXEC mode.
sparse mode, and dense mode, use the show ip mroute command in EXEC mode.
•
To display information about the elected DF for each RP of an interface and the metric associated
with the DF, use the show ip pim interface df command in EXEC mode.
with the DF, use the show ip pim interface df command in EXEC mode.

Command
Purpose
Router(config)# ip pim rp-address ip-address [access-list]
[override] bidir
Configures the address of a PIM RP for a
particular group, and specifies bidirectional mode.
Use this command when you are not distributing
group-to-RP mappings using either Auto-RP or
the PIMv2 BSR mechanism.

Router(config)#
ip pim rp-candidate
type-number [group-list
