Re: Help understanding RSVP - a few questions

Hi Andrew,

When you configure RSVP you need to configure the following things:

RSVP Task List
After you have planned your RSVP configuration, enter the Cisco IOS
commands that implement your configuration plan. The following
sections discuss how to configure RSVP. You must enable RSVP on an
interface in order to use it; the other tasks are optional.

Enable RSVP
Enter Senders in the RSVP Database
Enter Receivers in the RSVP Database
Enter Multicast Addresses
Control Which RSVP Neighbor Can Offer a Reservation
Monitor RSVP

More information on this you can find here:
