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 192.
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.
Enter the IP address of the device to be added as a Candidate RP.
Enter the corresponding subnet mask of the device to be added as a Candidate RP.
Enter the IP interface where this device is located.
