Parameters Description
Length of a mask (32 bits maximum) 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 was 24, only the first 24 bits of the group addresses matter.
This allows you to get one RP for multiple groups.
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.
The C-BSR advertisement interval. If the interval values are reduced from the default
value of 60 seconds, there could be issues in the network (especially BSR) due to
flooding of these packets. However, it will provide RP fast failover.
