PIM Candidate RP Global Settings

The following window is used to set the Parameters for this Switch to become the RP of its distribution tree. To view this window,
click Configuration > Layer 3 IP Networking > IP Multicast Routing Protocol > PIM Protocol > PIM Candidate RP
Global Settings.
The following fields can be viewed or set:
Parameter Description
Hold Time 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 0-255 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.
Priority 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 0–255 with a default setting of 0.
Wildcard Prefix 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.
