Brocade Communications Systems Upgrade Pef IPMC5000PEF IPMC5000PEF Manual De Usuario

The num parameter specifies the number of seconds and can be from 10 - 65535. The default is 60.

Use the no option to disable a timer that has been configured.

Configuring candidate RP

Enter a command such as the following to configure the device as a candidate RP.

device(config)# ipv6 router pim

device(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-candidate ethernet 2/2

device(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue

device(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-candidate ethernet 2/2

Syntax: [no] rp-candidate { ethernet slot / portnum | loopback num | ve num }

The ethernetslot /portnum | loopbacknum | venum parameter specifies the interface. The device will
advertise the specified interface IP address as a candidate RP:

•

Enter ethernetslot /portnum for a physical interface (port).

•

Enter loopbacknum for a loopback interface.

•

Enter venum for a virtual interface.

To add address ranges for which the device is a candidate RP, enter commands such as the following.

device(config)# ipv6 router pim

device(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-candidate add ff02::200:2 64

To add address ranges for a specified VRF for which the device is a candidate RP, enter commands
such as the following.

device(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue

device(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-candidate add ff02::200:2 64

Syntax: [no] rp-candidate add group-ipv6address mask-bits

You can delete the configured RP candidate group ranges by entering commands such as the
following.

device(config)# ipv6 router pim

device(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-candidate delete ff02::200:1 128

You can delete the configured RP candidate group ranges for a specified VRF by entering commands
such as the following:

device(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue

device(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-candidate delete ff02::200:1 128

Syntax: [n]o rp-candidate delete group-ipv6address mask-bits

The usage for the group-ipv6 addressmask-bits parameter is the same as for the rp-candidate add
command.

Statically specifying the RP

It is recommended that you use the IPv6 PIM Sparse mode RP election process so that a backup RP
can automatically take over if the active RP router becomes unavailable. However, if you do not want
the RP to be selected by the RP election process but instead you want to explicitly identify the RP by
its IPv6 address, use the rp-address command.
