10.7.2.2 ipv6 pimsm bsr-candidate
This command is used to configure the router to announce its candi dacy as a bootstrap router (BSR).
Syntax
ipv6 pimsm bsr-candidate interface <slot/port> [hash-mask-length] [priority]
no ipv6 pimsm bsr-candidate
hash-mask-length - Lengt h of a mask (32 bits maximum) that is to be ANDed with the group address
before the hash function is called. All gro ups with the same seed hash correspond to the same RP.
For example, if this value was 24, only the first 24 bits of the group addresse s matter. This allows you
to get one RP for multiple groups.
priority - Priority of the candidate BSR. The range is an integer from 0 to 255. The BSR with the
larger priority is preferred. If the priority values are the same, the router with the larger IP address is
the BSR. The default value is 0.
no - This command is used to disable the router to announce its candidacy as a bootstrap router
(BSR).
