Parameters

limit: Specifies the maximum number of BIDIR-PIM RPs, in the range of 1 to the number allowed by the system.

Usage guidelines

In a BIDIR-PIM domain, one DF election per RP is implemented on all PIM interfaces. To avoid unnecessary DF elections, do not configure multiple BIDIR-PIM RPs.

This command sets a limit on the number of BIDIR-PIM RPs. If the number of RPs exceeds the limit, excess RPs can be used only for DF election rather than multicast data forwarding.

Examples

# Set the maximum number of BIDIR-PIM RPs to 3 on the public network.
