Figure 8- 8 . PIM Candidate RP Settings window 3
Description
This field is used to set the time Candidate RP (CRP) advertisements are valid on the PIM-
SM enabled network. If CRP advertisements are not received by the BSR within this time
frame, the CRP is removed from the list of candidates. The user may set a time between 0
and 255 seconds with a default setting of 150 seconds. An entry of 0 will send out one
advertisement that states to the BSR that it should be immediately removed from CRP status
on the PIM-SM network.
Enter a priority value to determine which CRP will become the RP for the distribution tree.
This priority value will be included in the router's CRP advertisements. A lower value means a
higher priority, yet, if there is a tie for the highest priority, the router having the higher IP
address will become the RP. The user may set a priority between 0 and 255 with a default
setting of 0.
The user may set the Prefix Count value of the wildcard group address here by choosing a
value between 0 and 1 with a default setting of 0.
