Release 1.0 PIM Commands

ip pim dr-priority

The ip pim dr-prioritycommand sets the priority by which a router is elected as the designated router (DR). When a Designated Router (DR) is an election candidate, the router with the highest priority is elected as the DR. The DR priority is configured on the router’s interface. If a DR priority is assigned on multiple router interfaces, then the router with the highest IP address is used as the DR.

If a router does not advertise its priority in its hello messages, the router has the highest priority and is elected as the DR. If multiple routers have this priority status, then the router with the highest IP address configured on an interface is elected to be the DR.

The no ip pim dr-prioritycommand removes a router from the list of Designated Routers.
