The active CP is chosen as follows:
The higher value protocol origin is selected.
The existing installed path is preferred.
The lower value of originator is selected.
The higher value of discriminator is selected.
The CLI static configuration has a protocol origin value of 30. This value is not configurable.
The CLI originator value is <0, 0.0.0.0>.
Based on the CLI configuration, the CP selection is as follows:
If the P2MP policy is operational and has an operational CP, the following handling applies.
If a CP with a higher preference is configured and becomes operational, the users should switch to it.
If the current CP is the highest preference and another CP with the same preference is configured, the users should stay on the current CP.
If the P2MP policy is shutdown, then no shutdown, and there are multiple CPs with the same preference, the CP that was created last should be chosen. The show command for the CP displays the creation time.
