Appendix B Cisco MWR 2941 Router Command Reference
ip pim bsr-candidate
ip pim bsr-candidate
To configure the router to announce its candidacy as a bootstrap router (BSR), use the ip pim
bsr-candidate command in global configuration mode. To remove this router as a candidate for being
a bootstrap router, use the no form of this command.
ip pim [vrf vrf-name] bsr-candidate interface-type interface-number [hash-mask-length] [priority]
no ip pim [vrf vrf-name] bsr-candidate interface-type interface-number [hash-mask-length]
[priority]
Syntax Description
Command Default The command is disabled.
priority: 0
Note The Cisco IOS implementation of PIM BSR uses the value 0 as the default priority for candidate RPs
and BSRs. This implementation predates the draft-ietf-pim-sm-bsr IETF draft, the first IETF draft to
specify 192 as the default priority value. The Cisco IOS implementation, thus, deviates from the IETF
draft. To comply with the default priority value specified in the draft, you must explicitly set the priority
value to 192.
Command Modes Global configuration
Command History
vrf (Optional) Supports the multicast Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing
and forwarding (VRF) instance.
vrf-name (Optional) Name assigned to the VRF.
interface-type
interface-number
Interface type and number on this router from which the BSR address is
derived, to make it a candidate. This interface must be enabled with Protocol
Independent Multicast (PIM).
hash-mask-length (Optional) Length of a mask (32 bits maximum) that is to be ANDed with
the group address before the hash function is called. All groups with the
same seed hash (correspond) to the same RP. For example, if this value is
24, only the first 24 bits of the group addresses matter. This fact allows you
to get one RP for multiple groups.
priority (Optional) Priority of the candidate BSR. Integer from 0 to 255. The BSR
with the larger priority is preferred. If the priority values are the same, the
router with the larger IP address is the BSR. The default value is 0.
