• Set the value of the Rendezvous Point IP Address eld to the RP address
that you have determined earlier.
• Choose whether your conguration applies to all routers in the network or
to selected routers only.
• Click the OK button to save your changes and dene RP using the static-RP
mechanism.
10.2.6.2 Auto-RP Mechanism
Unlike the static-RP mechanism, where each router has RP statically specied prior
to simulation, the auto-RP mechanism dynamically distributes RP information dur-
ing simulation. To congure the auto-RP mechanism, which is a proprietary mecha-
nism of Cisco, y ...
