To configure Anycast PIM on a router
Purpose
This procedure describes how to use the Virtual Anycast Manager to configure anycast PIM on a router. The Virtual Anycast Manager automatically configures many of the supporting requirements for the protocol, which reduces operator configuration errors and assists in troubleshooting activities.
Note: The NFM-P does not automatically delete the supporting requirements for the protocol when you delete an anycast RP member.
You can also manually add peers to an anycast RP by navigating to the Anycast RP tab of the PIM configuration form. Ensure that PIM is enabled on the router. See To configure PIM on a routing instance .
The NFM-P raises an alarm when VRFs from different VPRNs are added to a single anycast RP set. You can only mismatch VRFs using methods that are not associated with the Virtual Anycast Manager; for example, by using the CLI or the PIM configuration form.
