Configure the switch to announce its candidacy as a
bootstrap router (BSR)
•
vlan-id
— A valid VLAN ID.
•

hash-mask-length

— The length of a mask that is to
be ANDed with the group address before the hash
function is called. All groups with the same seed
hash correspond to the same RP. For example, if this
value is 24, only the first 24 bits of the group
addresses matter. This allows you to get one RP for
multiple groups. (Range 0–32 bits).
•
priority
— The priority of the candidate BSR. The
BSR with the higher priority is preferred. If the
priority values are the same, the router with the
higher IPv6 address is the BSR. (Range 0–255).
•

interval —

(Optional) Indicates the BSR candidate
advertisement interval. The range is from 1 to 16383
seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.
ipv6 pim rp-candidate vlan

[interval

]
Configure the router to advertise itself to the BSR
router as a PIM candidate Rendezvous Point (RP) for
a specific multicast group range.
•
vlan-id
— A valid VLAN ID.
•

group-address/prefix-length

— Group IPv6 address
and prefix length supported by RP.
•
interval
— (Optional) Indicates the RP candidate
advertisement interval. The range is from 1 to 16383
seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.

length
[override]
(Optional) Statically configure the RP address for one
or more multicast groups. Only one RP address can be
used at a time within a PIM domain
The optional keyword override indicates that if there
is a conflict, the RP configured with this command
prevails over the RP learned by BSR.
