address
Syntax [no] address ip-address
Context config>service>vprn>pim>rp>bsr-candidate
config>service>vprn>pim>rp>rp-candidate
Description This command configures a static bootstrap or rendezvous point (RP) as long as the source is not
directly attached to this router.
Use the no form of this command to remove the static RP from the configuration.
Default No IP address is specified.
Parameters ip-address — The static IP address of the RP. The ip-address portion of the address command
specifies the IP host address that will be used by the IP interface within the subnet. This address
must be unique within the subnet and specified in dotted decimal notation.
Values 1.0.0.0 – 223.255.255.255
hash-mask-len
Syntax hash-mask-len hash-mask-length
no hash-mask-len
Context config>service>vprn>pim>rp>bsr-candidate
Description This command is used to configure the length of a mask that is to be combined with the group address
before the hash function is called. All groups with the same hash map to the same RP. For example, if
this value is 24, only the first 24 bits of the group addresses matter. This mechanism is used to map
one group or multiple groups to an RP.
Parameters hash-mask-length — The hash mask length.
Values 0 — 32
priority
Syntax priority bootstrap-priority
Context config>service>vprn>pim>rp>bsr-candidate
Description This command defines the priority used to become the rendezvous point (RP) . The higher the priority
value the more likely that this router becomes the RP. If there is a tie, the router with the highest IP
address is elected.
Parameters bootstrap-priority — The priority to become the bootstrap router.
Values 0 — 255
Default 0 (the router is not eligible to be the bootstrap router)
