ip pim-sparse dr-priority <value>
Use the ip pim-sparse dr-priority command to specify the priority of this PIM interface for use when
selecting the designated router (DR). Use the no form of this command to return to the default value.
Syntax Description
<value>
Default Values
By default, the priority of all PIM interfaces is 1.
Functional Notes
Interfaces advertise their configured priority values in the hello messages transmitted on the interface.
Routers use the priority values to determine the appropriate DR. The router on the network segment with
the highest priority is selected as the DR. If a hello message is received on the interface from a router on
the network segment and it does not contain a priority, the entire network segment defaults to DR selection
based on IP addresses instead of priority. In this instance, the DR is selected as the router on the network
segment that has the highest IP address. ProCurve Secure Routers will always include a priority in all
transmitted hello messages. If no priority is specifically designated by the user, the priority is set as the
default of 1.
Usage Examples
The following example specifies a priority of 100 on the Frame Relay interface 1.1:
ProCurve(config)#interface frame-relay 1.1
ProCurve(config-fr 1.1)#ip pim-sparse dr-priority 100
5991-2114
Specifies the priority of this interface (to be used when determining the DR). Valid
range is 1 to 4,294,967,295.
