and advertises it to all routers in the BIDIR-PIM domain. All the routers use the same hash algorithm to get
the RP address corresponding to specific multicast groups.
Perform the following configuration on C-BSR routers.
Follow these steps to configure global C-BSR parameters:
To do…
Use the command…

Configure the hash mask length
c-bsr hash-length hash-length
Optional
30 by default
Configure the C-BSR priority
c-bsr priority priority
Optional
64 by default
NOTE:
You can configure the hash mask length and C-BSR priority globally, in an admin-scope zone, and in the
global scope zone.
•
The values configured in the global scope zone or admin-scope zone have preference over the global
values.
•
If you do not configure these parameters in the global scope zone or admin-scope zone, the
corresponding global values will be used.
For configuration of C-BSR parameters for an admin-scope zone and global scope zone, see

Configuring C-BSR timers
The BSR election winner multicasts its own IP address and RP-Set information through bootstrap messages
within the entire zone it serves. The BSR floods bootstrap messages throughout the network at the interval
of BS (BSR state) period. Any C-BSR that receives a bootstrap message retains the RP-set for the length of
BS timeout, during which no BSR election takes place. If no bootstrap message is received from the BSR
before the BS timeout timer expires, a new BSR election process is triggered among the C-BSRs.
Perform the following configuration on C-BSR routers.
