Description
For PIM-SM, configure this routing device’s priority for becoming an RP.
For bidirectional PIM, configure this RP address’ priority for becoming an RP.
The bootstrap router uses this field when selecting the list of candidate rendezvous points to send in the bootstrap message. A smaller number increases the likelihood that the routing device or RP address becomes the RP. A priority value of 0 means that bootstrap router can override the group range being advertised by the candidate RP.
Options
number—Priority
for becoming an RP. A lower value corresponds to a higher priority.
Range: 0 through 255
