Configuring A Bsr - HPE FlexNetwork 5510 HI Series Configuration Manual

Configure a C-RP to provide

services for BIDIR-PIM.
Enabling Auto-RP listening
This feature enables the device to receive Auto-RP announcement and discovery messages and
learn RP information. The destination IP addresses for Auto-RP announcement and discovery
messages are 224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40, respectively.
To enable Auto-RP listening:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Enter PIM view.
2.
Enable Auto-RP listening.

Setting the maximum number of BIDIR-PIM RPs
In a BIDIR-PIM domain, one DF election per RP is implemented on all PIM-enabled interfaces. To
avoid unnecessary DF elections, do not configure multiple RPs for BIDIR-PIM.
This configuration sets a limit on the number of BIDIR-PIM RPs. If the number of RPs exceeds the
limit, excess RPs do not take effect and can be used only for DF election rather than multicast data
forwarding. The system does not delete the excess RPs. They must be deleted manually.
To set the maximum number of BIDIR-PIM RPs:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Enter PIM view.
2.
Set the maximum number of
3.
BIDIR-PIM RPs.

Configuring a BSR

You must configure a BSR if C-RPs are configured to dynamically select the RP. You do not need to
configure a BSR when you have configured only a static RP but no C-RPs.
A BIDIR-PIM domain can have only one BSR, but must have a minimum of one C-BSR. Any router
can be configured as a C-BSR. Elected from C-BSRs, the BSR is responsible for collecting and
advertising RP information in the BIDIR-PIM domain.
Configuring a C-BSR
IMPORTANT:
Because the BSR and other devices exchange a large amount of information in the BIDIR-PIM
domain, reserve a large bandwidth between the C-BSR and other devices.
The BSR election process is summarized as follows:
c-rp ip-address
[ advertisement-interval
adv-interval | group-policy
ipv4-acl-number | holdtime
hold-time | priority priority ] * bidir
