erm..what does it means by omitting the RPs completely ?

i thought that the whole point of MSDP is to allow inter RP communication
of any active source in the multicast domain. THe whole idea being RP
would have a table of all active source and a protocol (MSDP) was created
to enable communication between RP to exchange the Active Source
information.

As for anycast, I do believe you have to configure RP. Anycast is short is
just configuring a bunch of RP using the same IP address (loopback
address). The advantage is probably to safe usage of memory for the router
RP table and efficiency in routing path from the route protocol and of
course redundancy as well.

As for testing MSDP, you could probably try to emulate some source and see
if the other MSDP peer has knowledge of this source as well ?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows whether I need to configure a RP using
ANYCAST ?

Some of the Cisco Press books seems to have omitted the RPs completely.

Cat 3550 ---- Ethernet --- FRS

Over here, I configured a static RP - how do you know this working other
than just seeing that the msdp status as 'up' ?

Thanks.

Paul
