This example show information displayed on a Layer 3 Switch that has been elected as the BSR. The following

are compared and the interface with the highest BSR priority becomes
the BSR.

Switch is the BSR. If the word “local” does appear, this Layer 3
Switch is not the BSR.
Hash mask length The number of significant bits in the IP multicast group comparison
mask. This mask determines the IP multicast group numbers for
which the Layer 3 Switch can be a BSR. The default is 32 bits, which
allows the Layer 3 Switch to be a BSR for any valid IP multicast group
number.
