RP question

[anitachoi3]

Hi,

I study the multicast service. I have one question.

If there are three routers

R1

loopback 0

192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255

R2

loopback 0

172.16.20.1 255.255.255.255

R3

loopback 0

10.5.5.1 255.255.255.255

they are the candidate of RP. which one will be the "right" RP?

Anita,

The highest ip address would be elected as the RP. So it would be R1 in this case.

The highest IP address will become the RP. So R1 would be the RP in your network based upon the IP address.

HTH,
