RE: Use of "ip pim rp-announce-filter"

Friends,

Is it verified the need of double definition? (Both at RP and mapping
agent) As far as I know. Definitions on the mapping agent are only
necessary when conflicts exist at the RP level.

If some of the gurus of the list could confirm the truth... it would be
great!!

Best Regards,
Roberto

Ryan,

You need a group list on the RP announce, and also a filter on the
mapping
agent for this situation.

I don't know why Cisco have implemented this like this, but for the RP
to be
just for 2 groups and nothing else, 2 filters must be used. One on the
RP
and the other on the mapping agent.

Regards

Lee.

Hi, Group,

---(e0)R1(s1)------(s1)R2(e0)---

I setup a lab for RP Filtering by using Auto-RP
R1 acts as RP announcement
R2 acts as mapping agent

In R1, I already limit the use of RP by access-list 11 (i.e. 224.0.0.0
7.255.255.255)
Is it necessary to also set a RP-filter on the mapping agent to limit
the use of RP?
I have no idea where I should put "ip pim rp-announce-filter" in
multicast network. Thanks !

Ryan
