This Field...

Displays...

 

 

BSR address

The IP address of the interface configured as the PIM Sparse

or

Bootstrap Router (BSR).

 

local BSR address

Note: If the word “local” does not appear in the field, this routing

switch is the BSR. If the word “local” does appear, this routing switch

are compared and the interface with the highest BSR priority becomes

 

local BSR priority

the BSR.

switch is the BSR. If the word “local” does appear, this routing switch

number.
