NOTE
It is possible to configure the device as only a candidate BSR or an RP, but it is recommended that
you configure the same interface on the same device as both a BSR and an RP.
To configure the device as a candidate BSR, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim
Brocade(config-ip6-pim-router)# bsr-candidate ethernet 1/3 32 64
BSR address: 31::207, hash mask length: 32, priority: 64
This command configures Ethernet interface 1/3 as the BSR candidate with a mask length of 32
and a priority of 64.
To configure the device as a candidate BSR for a specified VRF, enter the commands as shown in
the following example.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# bsr-candidate ethernet 1/3 32 64
BSR address: 31::207, hash mask length: 32, priority: 64
Syntax: [no] bsr-candidate ethernet slot/portnum | loopback num | ve num
hash-mask-length [priority]
Use the no option to remove the candidate BSR configuration for a specified VRF.
The ethernet slot/portnum | loopback num | ve num parameter specifies the interface. The device
will advertise the specified interface’s IP address as a candidate BSR:
• Enter ethernet slot/portnum for a physical interface (port).
• Enter loopback num for a loopback interface.
• Enter ve num for a virtual interface.
The hash-mask-length variable specifies the number of bits in a group address that are significant
when calculating the group-to-RP mapping. You can specify a value from 1 through 32.
The priority variable specifies the BSR priority. You can specify a value from 0 through 255. When
the election process for BSR takes place, the candidate BSR with the highest priority becomes the
BSR. The default is 0.
Setting the BSR message interval
The BSR message interval timer defines the interval at which the BSR sends RP candidate data to
all IPv6-enabled routers within the IPv6 PIM Sparse domain. The default is 60 seconds.
To set the IPv6 PIM BSR message interval timer to 16 seconds, enter commands such as the
following.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router)# bsr-msg-interval 16
Changed BSR message interval to 16 seconds.
To set the IPv6 PIM BSR message interval timer to 16 seconds for a specified VRF, enter the
commands as shown in the following example.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# bsr-msg-interval 16
Changed BSR message interval to 16 seconds.
Syntax: [no] bsr-msg-interval num
The num parameter specifies the number of seconds and can be from 10 – 65535. The default is
60.
