Hm, what you have below *should* work. It should block auto-RP
announce and discovery in both directions. (Either that, or I'm
both confused and reading the Cisco docs wrong...) Are you sure
the auto-RP packets you are receiving are coming in on the
interface you think they are, where you have applied the
"ip multicast boundary 10" command?

I don't believe it is possible to turn off auto-RP on a Cisco.

Definitely recommend the "override" keyword with static RP
mapping as mentioned earlier.

BTW, the added keyword "filter-autorp" does something different
than you might expect, as far as I can tell (I've not used it):

If you configure the filter-autorp keyword, the administratively
scoped boundary also examines Auto-RP discovery and announcement
messages and removes any Auto-RP group range announcements from
the Auto-RP packets that are denied by the boundary ACL. An Auto-RP
group range announcement is permitted and passed by the boundary
only if all addresses in the Auto-RP group range are permitted by
the boundary ACL. If any address is not permitted, the entire group
range is filtered and removed from the Auto-RP message before the
Auto-RP message is forwarded.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What is your make/model and IOS version?

Thanks,
Caren
