no form to restore the default setting.

Command Mode
Interface Configuration (VLAN)
Command Usage
◆
More than one PIM-SM router may be connected to an Ethernet or other
shared-media LAN. If multicast hosts are directly connected to the LAN, then
only one of these routers is elected as the DR, and acts on behalf of these hosts,
sending periodic Join/Prune messages toward a group-specific RP for each
group. A single DR is elected per interface (LAN or otherwise) using a simple
election process.
◆
The router with the highest priority configured on an interface is elected as the
DR. If more than one router attached to this interface uses the same priority,
then the router with the highest IP address is elected to serve as the DR.
◆
If a router does not advertise a priority in its hello messages, it is assumed to
have the highest priority and is elected as the DR. If more than one router is not
advertising its priority, then the router with the highest IP address is elected to
serve as the DR.
