Static RP Configuration PIM vs Candidate RP election

[Rajesh cisco]

Hi Team,

i have static RP for a group range (225.0.0.0 to 255.0.0.0) and i have configured dynamic RP (bootstrap mechanism) for the same group range.

which one will be elected as RP-SET.

please share your views.

thanks a lot in advance.

regards,

Static RP can co-exist with dynamic RP mechanisms (ie: Auto-RP). Dynamically learned RP takes precedence over manually configured RPs. If a router receives Auto-RP information for a multicast group that has manually configured RP information, then the Auto-RP information will be used.
