These parameters are displayed:
IP Address

State
19
– Operation state of BSR includes:
No information – No information is stored for this device.
Accept Any – The router does not know of an active BSR, and will accept the
first bootstrap message it sees as giving the new BSR's identity and the RP-
set.
Accept Preferred – The router knows the identity of the current BSR, and is
using the RP-set provided by that BSR. Only bootstrap messages from that
BSR or from a C-BSR with higher weight than the current BSR will be
accepted.
Candidate BSR – Bidding in election process.
Pending-BSR – The router is a candidate to be the BSR for the RP-set.
Currently, no other router is the preferred BSR, but this router is not yet the
elected BSR.
