Kirit,
Here are a couple of examples that i hope address your question.
R1---------------R2----------------R3
R1 loopback0:150.1.1.1
R2 loopback0:150.1.2.2
R3 loopback0:150.1.3.3
Example1-AutoRP
R1: ip pim send-rp-announce looopback0 scope 10
R3: ip pim send-rp-announce looopback0 scope 10
R2: ip pim send-rp-discovery looopback0 scope 10
In this case, the RP candidates are R1 & R3, and each is advertising itself
as RP for all multicast group addresses (224.0.0.0/4). R2 is the mapping
agent, and when it gets RP announcements from the two candidates, it will
chose R3 as RP due to its higher IP address and advertise this to all pim
routers. Should R3 fail, the mapping agent will then chose R1 and advertise
this to all pim routers. R1 is therefore a backup RP.
Example2-BSR
R1: ip pim rp-candidate lo0 priority 10
R3: ip pim rp-candidate lo0 priority 30
R2: ip pim bsr-candidate lo0
In this case, R2 the mapping agent will advertise an RP-set that includes
both candidate RPs, as well as their priority settings, for all multicast
group addresses. Each pim router will then select the candidate with higher
priority as RP. The other candidate will be a backup incase the first RP
fails.
When you use group-list keyword to specify group addresses for RP
candidates, and they happen to overlap, then this logic will apply too. If
the group-lists do not overlap, then you will not have backup RPs for those
group addresses.
