Re: Use of "ip pim rp-announce-filter"

Thanks for your decision on my group-list question.

Besides, I have a situation to elect RP with multiple potential RPs

R3---R2
|
R1

RP of R1 = 1.1.1.1
RP of R2 = 2.2.2.2

R1 and R2 are RP-announce routers for group 224.0.0.0/7 , R3 as
mapping agent will choose RP with highest IP as winner (i.e. R2) . If
the winner is down, mapping agent will switch RP to the lower IP RP.

Is there any option/parameter for mapping agent to choose R1 as winner
first ? As Brain said, use of "ip pim rp-announce-filter" will filter
potential RP permanently. Thus I don't think "ip pim
rp-announce-filter" can do that. Any other command can do that ?

Regards,
Ryan
