PIM configuration RP

aueddonline

when using the command

ip pim rp-address (addreess)

to config a router as a RP, what address should be specified, is it an interface on the router or a loopback on the router or neither?

cheers

It can be a loopback or and interface Ip address doesn't really matter as long as the ip address is configured on the router

thanks, thought i'd clear that one up doesn't really speel it out in the press book

If you have multiple interfaces and redundant links, you may go with a Loopback Interface for the stability it would provide. Don't forget to run PIM on the interface that you choose to use.

yeah I can imagine it's easy to forget bit unusal to specify things like versions on the interface, cheers mike
