Configure a global-scope
C-BSR
III. Configuring an admin-scope C-BSR
By default, a PIM-SM domain has only one BSR. The entire network should be
managed by this BSR. To manage your network more effectively and specifically, you
can divide a PIM-SM domain into multiple BSR admin-scope regions, with each BSR
admin-scope region having one BSR, which serves specific multicast groups.
Specific to particular multicast groups, the BSR administrative scoping mechanism
effectively lessens the management workload of a single-BSR domain and provides
group-specific services.
In a network divided into BSR admin-scope regions, BSRs are elected from
multitudinous C-BSRs to serve different multicast groups. The C-RPs in a BSR
admin-scope region send C-RP-Adv messages to only the corresponding BSR. The
BSR summarizes the advertisement messages into an RP-set and advertises it to all
the routers in the BSR admin-scope region. All the routers use the same algorithm to
get the RP addresses corresponding to specific multicast groups.
Follow these steps to configure an admin-scope C-BSR:
Enter system view
Enter PIM view

IV. Configuring a BSR admin-scope region boundary
A BSR has its specific service scope. A number of BSR boundary interfaces divide a
network into different BSR admin-scope regions. Bootstrap messages cannot cross the
admin-scope region boundary, while other types of PIM messages can.
