Hi
Just a quick question, if I configure multiple static RPs and one of the ACLs denies a source will it move on to the next entry that covers it in another acl?
e.g.
access-list 1 deny 239.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 1 permit 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255
access-list 2 permit 239.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 2 deny 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255
ip pim rp-address 1.1.1.1 1
ip pim rp-address 2.2.2.2 2
i.e. 1.1.1.1 will be used as the RP for 224 to 238 and 2.2.2.2 will be used as the RP for 239.
Will that work correctly, i.e. if a source is trying to register with the router and its for the group 239.1.1.1, will it be denied against the first RP and then permitted against the second RP?
Thanks

Hello Malcolm,

Yes, that is the way it should work. Quoting from
You can configure a single RP for more than one group using an access list. If no access list is specified, the static RP will map to all multicast groups, 224/4.
You can configure multiple RPs, but only one RP per group range.
If multiple ip pim rp-address commands are configured, the following rules apply:
