PIM Candidate BSR Settings

The following windows are used to configure the Candidate Boot Strap Router settings for the switch and the
priority of the selected IP interface to become the Boot Strap Router (BSR) for the PIM enabled network. The Boot
Strap Router holds the information which determines which router on the network is to be elected as the RP for the
multicast group and then to gather and distribute RP information to other PIM-SM enabled routers.
To view the following window, click L3 Features > IP Multicast Routing Protocol > PIM > PIM for IPv4 > PIM

Description
This field will set the interval time between the sending of Hello Packets from this IP
interface to neighboring routers one hop away. These Hello packets are used to
discover other PIM enabled routers and state their priority as the Designated Router
(DR) on the PIM enabled network. The user may state an interval time between 1
and 18724 seconds with a default interval time of 30 seconds.
This field will set the interval time between the sending of Join/Prune packets stating
which multicast groups are to join the PIM enabled network and which are to be
removed or "pruned" from that group. The user may state an interval time between 1
and 18724 seconds with a default interval time of 60 seconds.
Enter the priority of this IP interface to become the Designated Router for the multiple
access network. The user may enter a DR priority between 0 and 4,294,967,294 with
a default setting of 1.
