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 Candidate BSR window, click L3 Features > IP
Multicast Routing Protocol > PIM > PIM Candidate BSR Settings.
The following fields can be set:
Parameter
Candidate BSR
Hash Mask Len (0-
32)
Candidate BSR
Bootstrap Period (1-
255)
Interface Name
To view the CBSR settings for an IP interface and set its BSR priority, click its corresponding Modify button, which will lead you
to the following window.

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.
Use the pull-down menu to select the type of PIM protocol to use, Sparse Mode (SM), Dense
Mode (DM), or Sparse-Dense Mode (SM-DM). The default setting is DM.
Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable PIM for this IP interface. The default is Disabled.

Description
Enter a hash mask length, which will be used with the IP address of the candidate RP and the
multicast group address, to calculate the hash algorithm used by the router to determine which
C-RP on the PIM-SM enabled network will be the RP. The user may select a length between 0
and 32 with a default setting of 30.
Enter a time period between 1 and 255 to determine the interval the Switch will send out Boot
Strap Messages (BSM) to the PIM enabled network. The default setting is 60 seconds.
To find an IP interface on the Switch, enter the interface name into the space provided and
click Search. If found, the Interface Name will appear alone in the PIM Candidate BSR
Settings window below.
