Ryan,

You need a group list on the RP announce, and also a filter on the mapping
agent for this situation.

I don't know why Cisco have implemented this like this, but for the RP to be
just for 2 groups and nothing else, 2 filters must be used. One on the RP
and the other on the mapping agent.

Regards

Lee.

Hi, Group,

---(e0)R1(s1)------(s1)R2(e0)---

I setup a lab for RP Filtering by using Auto-RP
R1 acts as RP announcement
R2 acts as mapping agent

In R1, I already limit the use of RP by access-list 11 (i.e. 224.0.0.0
7.255.255.255)
Is it necessary to also set a RP-filter on the mapping agent to limit
the use of RP?
I have no idea where I should put "ip pim rp-announce-filter" in
multicast network. Thanks !

Ryan
