    Learn Rendezvous Points (RPs) Dynamically

    RP is a multicast-enabled device or node in the network that serves as a meeting point for multicast traffic in the network. Enable BSM for the ION device to learn RPs dynamically in Prisma SD-WAN.
    Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
    • Prisma SD-WAN (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
    • Prisma SD-WAN
    Enable BSM for the ION device to learn RPs dynamically. Use this feature for ION devices running software versions 6.0.1 or higher.
    1. Select ConfigurationPrisma SD-WAN ION DevicesClaimedConfigure the deviceRoutingMulticastGlobal Configuration.
    2. Select Enable BSM.
      Ensure that the RP and the multicast source are reachable via specific routes (learned via static or dynamic routes) as they cannot be resolved using default routes.
    3. (Optional) Select MulticastRP Configuration to check the RP addresses.
      A static RP configured on a branch site takes precedence over a static RP configured at a data center site.
      Field Description
      RP AddressDisplays the IP address of the static RP or the dynamically learnt RP.
      Type
      BSR—Indicates that the RP is learnt dynamically via BSM.
      Static—Indicates that the RP is configured statically.
      NameDisplays the name given to a static RP. This field will be blank for a dynamically learnt RP.
      AddressDisplays the multicast group IP addresses to which the RP caters.
