Re: pim auto-rp priority missing?

Auto-RP

Multiple RPs can be used to serve different group ranges or *serve as
backups to each other*. For Auto-RP to work, a router must be designated as
an RP-mapping agent, which receives the RP-announcement messages from the
RPs and arbitrates conflicts. The RP-mapping agent then sends the consistent
group-to-RP mappings to all other routers. Thus, all routers automatically
discover which RP to use for the groups they support.
Directly from the DOC cd

the higher ip address will be the RP,
