Re: ip pim rp-add 'override'

The dynamic methods Auto-RP and BSR are preferred OVER static RP. You would
use this to configure a static RP as fallback when the dynamic way fails.

If you configure ip pim rp-address without override, Auto-RP and BSR will
override this. After adding the override, the router will use the statically
configured RP.

This is by the way really easy to test with just 2 routers within 10
minutes, or even 1 router if you don't have 2 :-)
