RE: pim auto-rp priority missing?

Use anycast and have your routing protocol handle the failover.

That is fine, but it does require more configuration to implement a
static RP
on all PIM enabled routers. If you have a loopback for one device that
is say
200.5.5.5 and then a serial IP on another device that is 207.205.x.x,
then you
can simply use the serial and still send discovery for both of the RP's.
As
far as the actual failover times go, I don't know, but I would venture
to
guess somewhere around a minute to failover.

Subject: pim auto-rp priority missing?

hi list,

I was wondering how to create a backup RP for a certain group when using
Auto-RP. I cannot configure any priorities as you can when configuring
it
for use with a bsr?
I checked the doccd but i am not able to find a similar function? How
does
the mapping-agent decide which RP to use when two RP's announce them
same
groups in Auto-RP mode?

Thanks,
