Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(22)S

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.

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.

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.

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)#

type-number [group-list 

access-list] bidir

Configures the router to advertise itself as a 
PIMv2 candidate RP to the BSR, and specifies 
bidirectional mode. Use this command when you 
are using the PIMv2 BSR mechanism to distribute 
group-to-RP mappings.

Router(config)# ip pim send-rp-announce type-number

[group-list access-list] [interval

seconds] bidir

Configures the router to use Auto-RP to configure 
the groups for which the router is willing to act as 
RP, and specifies bidirectional mode. Use this 
command when you are using Auto-RP to 
distribute group-to-RP mappings.

Router# show ip pim interface [type number] [df | count] 

[rp-address]

Displays information about the elected DF for each 
RP of an interface, along with the unicast routing 
metric associated with the DF.

Router# show ip pim rp [mapping | metric]

 

[rp-address]

Displays information about configured RPs, 
learned via Auto-RP or BSR, along with their 
unicast routing metric.
