A Rendezvous Point (RP) is a multicast-enabled
device or node in the network that serves as a meeting point for
multicast traffic in the network. An RP receives multicast traffic
from a source and forwards the traffic to receivers interested in receiving
the multicast traffic.
Prisma SD-WAN supports static RP addressing,
wherein you must configure the same RP address for all the routers
in the multicast network. The ION device can act as an RP or there
can be an external RP. Prisma SD-WAN supports a maximum of 8 Static
RPs and 240 groups. The groups must be unique among the RPs, that
is, you cannot configure two RPs which support the same group.
Prisma
SD-WAN does not support Auto RP and BSR protocols for dynamic RP
advertisement.
