Enabling static RP
Enable static RP to avoid the process of dynamically learning C-RPs through the BSR mechanism. With this feature, static RP-enabled Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Series switches can communicate with switches from other vendors that do not use the BSR mechanism.
Use the following procedure to enable static RP.
 | Important |
|
When you enable static RP, all dynamically learned BSR information is lost. However, if you disable static RP, the switch loses the static RP information and regains the BSR functionality. |

From the navigation tree, double-click IP Routing.
In the IP Routing tree, double-click PIM.
