The documentation is incorrect. Had this confirmed by Cisco :))

I'm not a multicast guru, but I believe you are correct. The whole point of
Anycast RP with Auto-RP is to advertise the same IP address for the RP so
that the nearest (topologically) RP is used when both are up and then to
take advantage of a fast converging routing protocol to failover to the
other RP when one of them goes down. Perhaps a typo carried over from the
"Auto-RP with Multiple RPs" scenario.

Hi All,

Has anyone checked this config on the CD for anycast rp
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/intsolns/mcst_sol/rps.htm#x
tocid12

In the config for anycast RP with Auto-RP scenario, they are using Lo0 for
router 75a to source the rp-announce.
ip pim send-rp-announce Loopback0 scope 32 group-list 10

ip pim send-rp-discovery Loopback0 scope 32

The question is, should'nt they use Lo 1 here?? As that is the interface
with the commomon IP for both the routers.
I guess that was the whole point of the excercise to make them redundant.

Any Multicast Guru, kindly Comment.

Thanks,

Mohit.
