Example
The following provides an example of the command.
(Routing)(Interface 0/1)#ipv6 pim bsr-border
10-12 ipv6 pim bsr-candidate
Configures the router so that it will announce its candidacy to serve as a bootstrap router (BSR). The
slot/port
argument corresponds to either a physical routing interface or to a VLAN routing interface. The
keyword
VLAN
is utilized, instead of the
slot/port
format, to directly specify the VLAN ID of the routing
VLAN.
The
no
command to removes the configured PIM Candidate BSR router.
Note:
Only when the PIM-SM is configured as the PIM mode will this command take effect.
ipv6 pim bsr-candidate interface {slot/port | vlan 1-4093} hash-mask-length [bsr-priority] [interval
interval]
no ipv6 pim bsr-candidate interface {slot/port | vlan 1-4093} hash-mask-length [bsr-priority]
Parameters
slot/port
lnterface number on this router from which the BSR address is derived,
to make it a candidate. This interface must be enabled with PIM.
vlan
Indicates an interface in VLAN format (1-4093).
hash-mask-length
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.
bsr-priority
(Optional) 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 IPv6 address is the BSR. The
default value is 0.
interval interval
(Optional) Indicates the BSR candidate advertisement interval. The
range is from 1 to 16383 seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.
Default
The default is Disabled.
