Overview

Details instructions for implementing automated discovery of an rendevouz point (RP) using a protocol independent multicast - bootstrap router (PIM BSR) to eliminate single points of failure. It details how to configure candidate devices to ensure high availability and seamless multicast traffic flow across network sites.

Feature history for RP selection process by a PIM BSR

This section lists the development milestones and release information for an RP selection process by a PIM BSR, including feature description.

RP selection process by a PIM BSR

This topic explains how Boot Strap Routers discover and announce mapping information to ensure seamless multicast traffic flow. It outlines the operational workflow for electing a primary router and establishing distribution trees within the network.

Configure a PIM BSR

Use this procedure to set up automated discovery by defining feature templates and candidate roles. This high-level workflow ensures that all necessary components are in place for the election process to function correctly.

Verify VRRP-Aware PIM Using the CLI

Use this procedure to check the redundancy status and configuration of routers operating in a high-availability pair.
