• Enable or disable SNMP trap status for PIM events (default: disabled)
• Configure candidate BSR operation
• Configure C-RP operation or the (optional) static RP operation
NOTE:
Before configuring BSR, RP, and SNMP trap operation for PIM-SM, it is necessary to enable
PIM-SM on at least one VLAN on the router.
Configuring a BSR candidate
Selecting the VLAN interface to advertise as a BSR candidate.
Syntax:
bsr-candidate source-ip-vlan [
vid
]
no bsr-candidate source-ip-vlan [
vid
]
router pim bsr-candidate source-ip-vlan [
vid
]
no router pim bsr-candidate source-ip-vlan [
vid
]
Configures the router to advertise itself as a candidate PIM-SM BSR on the VLAN interface specified by
source-
ip-vlan [
vid
]
, and enables BSR candidate operation. This makes the router eligible to be elected as the
BSR for the PIM-SM domain in which it operates. Note that one BSR candidate VLAN interface is allowed per-
router. The
no
form of the command deletes the BSR source IP VLAN configuration and also disables the router
from being a BSR candidate, if this option has been enabled.(See the
BSR-candidate
command, below.)
Enabling or disabling a BSR Candidate
Enable or disable BSR candidate operation on a router.
Syntax:
bsr-candidate
no bsr-candidate
router pim bsr-candidate
no router pim bsr-candidate
Disables or re-enables the router for advertising itself as a Candidate-BSR on the VLAN interface specified by
source-ip-vlan [
vid
]
. This command is used to disable and re-enable BSR candidate operation after the
bsr-candidate source-ip-vlan [
vid
]
command has been used to enable C-BSR operation on the
router. (This command operates only after the BSR
source-ip-VLAN ID
has been configured.)
(Default: Disabled)
Changing the priority setting
Changing the priority setting for a BSR-candidate router.
Syntax:
bsr-candidate priority [0-255]
router pim bsr-candidate priority [0-255]
no router pim bsr-candidate priority [0-255]
Specifies the priority to apply to the router when a BSR election process occurs in the PIM-SM domain. The
candidate with the highest priority becomes the BSR for the domain. If the highest priority is shared by multiple
