Configuring PIM for IPv4

These parameters are displayed:

BSR Candidate Status – Configures the switch as a Bootstrap Router (BSR)

candidate. (Default: Disabled)

VLAN ID – Identifier of configured VLAN interface. (Range: 1-4094)

Hash Mask Length – Hash mask length (in bits) used for RP selection (see

"Configuring a PIM Static Rendezvous Point" on page 769

PIM RP Candidate" on page

length is ANDed with the group address. Therefore, when the hash function is

executed on any BSR, all groups with the same seed hash will be mapped to the

same RP. If the mask length is less than 32, then only the first portion of the

hash is used, and a single RP will be defined for multiple groups. (Range: 0-32;

Default: 10)

Priority – Priority used by the candidate bootstrap router in the election

process. The BSR candidate with the largest priority is preferred. If the priority

values are the same, the candidate with the larger IP address is elected to be

the BSR. Setting the priority to zero means that this router is not eligible to

server as the BSR. At least one router in the PIM-SM domain must be set to a

value greater than zero. (Range: 0-255; Default: 0)

Web Interface

To configure the switch as a BSR candidate:

Click Routing Protocol, PIM, SM.

Select BSR Candidate from the Step list.

Specify the VLAN interface for which this router is bidding to become the BSR,

the hash mask length that will subsequently be used for RP selection if this

router is selected as the BSR, and the priority for BSR selection.

Click Apply.
