## Specify the Address for the Candidate RP

This example advertises `10.1.0.1` as a candidate RP on PIM component 1, with a group address of `224.1.0.0` and a group mask of `255.255.0.0`.

1. Enable PIM globally.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# set ip pim enable

2. Enter Interface Configuration mode for the interface.

       SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 5

3. Associate the VLAN interface with the PIM component.

       SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim componentId 1

4. Specify how often (in seconds) the switch sends PIM messages to the interface.

       SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim query-interval 60
       SEFOS(config-if)# exit
       SEFOS(config)#

5. Configure the PIM component 1.

       SEFOS(config)# ip pim component 1

6. Configure the RP-candidate values.

       SEFOS(pim-comp)# rp-candidate rp-address 224.1.0.0  255.255.0.0  10.1.0.1
       SEFOS(pim-comp)# end

7. Ensure that the correct RP-candidate values are set.

       SEFOS# show ip pim rp-candidate 1
