ip pimsm bsr-candidate
The ip pimsm bsr-candidate command is used to configure the router to announce its
candidacy as a bootstrap router (BSR). Use the “no” form of this command to stop the router
from announcing its candidacy as a bootstrap router. This command deprecates the ip pimsm
cbsrhaskmasklength and ip pimsm cbsrpreference commands.
Syntax
ip pimsm bsr-candidate vlan vlanid [ hash-mask-length [ priority ]]
no ip pimsm bsr-candidate vlan
vlanid
• vlanid — A valid VLAN ID.
•
hash-mask-length — The length of a mask 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 allows you
to get one RP for multiple groups. (Range 0–32 bits).
•
priority — The priority of the candidate BSR. The BSR with the higher priority is preferred. If
the priority values are the same, the router with the higher IP address is the BSR. (Range
0–255).
Default Configuration
The router will not announce its candidacy by default
The default hash mask length is 32 bits.
The default priority is 0.
