[Config] Multicast – PIM Auto-RP
As described in the blog post about Anycast RP, we can take advantage of MSDP to have a load-balancing & Failover mechanism between RP, but still, we need to configure the RP address on each and every device taking part of the multicast infrastructure. To automate this repetitive (and boring) task, Cisco has developed Auto-RP,…
[Config] Multicast – PIM Anycast RP
MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol) has been developed to exchange information about sources of multicast traffic between multiple BGP Domain. It can also be used as a key protocol allowing us to have two or more RPs to share the load and provide redundancy in case of RP failure. Key Concept Two or more RPs…
