IPv4 Multicast Protocols

This example shows information displayed on a device that has been elected as the BSR. The next example shows information displayed on a device that is not the BSR. Notice that some fields shown in the example above do not appear in the example below

device(config)#show ip pim bsr

PIMv2 Bootstrap information for Vrf Instance : default-vrf

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BSR address: 1.51.51.1. Hash Mask Length 32. Priority 255. Next Candidate-RP-advertisment in 00:00:30

RP: 1.51.51.3 group prefixes: 224.0.0.0 / 4

Candidate-RP-advertisement period: 60 device(config)#

Syntax: show ip pim [vrf vrf-name] bsr

The vrf keyword allows you to display BSR information for the VRF instance identified by the vrf- namevrf-namevariable.

The following table describes the output from this command.

TABLE 6 Output from the show ip pim bsr command

This field...

Displays...

 

 

BSR address

The IP address of the interface configured as the PIM Sparse Bootstrap Router (BSR).

 

 

BSR priority

The priority assigned to the interface for use during the BSR election process. During

 

BSR election, the priorities of the candidate BSRs are compared and the interface with

 

the highest BSR priority becomes the BSR.

 

 

Hash mask length

The number of significant bits in the IP multicast group comparison mask. This mask

 

determines the IP multicast group numbers for which the device can be a BSR. The

 

default is 32 bits, which allows the device to be a BSR for any valid IP multicast group

 

number.

 

NOTE

 

 

This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.

 

 

 

 

Next bootstrap message

Indicates how much time will pass before the BSR sends the next bootstrap message.

 

in

The time is displayed in "hh:mm:ss" format.

 

 

NOTE

 

 

This field appears only if this device is the BSR.

 

 

 

 

Next Candidate-RP-

Indicates how much time will pass before the BSR sends the next candidate PR

 

advertisement message

advertisement message. The time is displayed in "hh:mm:ss" format.

NOTE

This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.
