Priority – Priority used by the candidate bootstrap router in the
election process. The BSR candidate with the largest priority is
preferred. If the priority values are the same, the candidate with the
larger IP address is elected to be the BSR. Setting the priority to zero
means that this router is not eligible to server as the BSR. At least one
router in the PIM-SM domain must be set to a value greater than zero.
(Range: 0-255; Default: 0)
