Configure the switch to announce its candidacy as a
bootstrap router (BSR).
•
vlan-id
— A valid VLAN ID.
•
hash-mask-length
— The length of a mask 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 is 24, only the first 24 bits of the group
addresses matter. This allows you to get one RP for
multiple groups. (Range 0–32 bits).
•
priority
— The priority of the candidate BSR. The
BSR with the higher priority is preferred. If the
priority values are the same, the router with the
higher IP address is the BSR. (Range 0–255).
•
interval —
(Optional) Indicates the BSR candidate
advertisement interval. The range is from 1 to 16383
seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.
