This example shows information displayed on a device that has been elected as the BSR. The next
example shows information displayed on a device that is not the BSR. Notice that some fields shown in
the example above do not appear in the example below
device(config)#show ip pim bsr
PIMv2 Bootstrap information for Vrf Instance : default-vrf
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BSR address: 1.51.51.1. Hash Mask Length 32. Priority 255.
Next Candidate-RP-advertisment in 00:00:30
RP: 1.51.51.3
group prefixes:
224.0.0.0 / 4
Candidate-RP-advertisement period: 60
device(config)#
Syntax: show ip pim [vrf vrf-name ] bsr
The vrf keyword allows you to display BSR information for the VRF instance identified by the vrf-
namevrf-name variable.
The following table describes the output from this command.
Output from the show ip pim bsr command
TABLE 6
This field...
Displays...
BSR address
The IP address of the interface configured as the PIM Sparse Bootstrap Router (BSR).
BSR priority
The priority assigned to the interface for use during the BSR election process. During
BSR election, the priorities of the candidate BSRs are compared and the interface with
the highest BSR priority becomes the BSR.
Hash mask length
The number of significant bits in the IP multicast group comparison mask. This mask
determines the IP multicast group numbers for which the device can be a BSR. The
default is 32 bits, which allows the device to be a BSR for any valid IP multicast group
number.
NOTE
This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.
Next bootstrap message
in
Indicates how much time will pass before the BSR sends the next bootstrap message.
The time is displayed in "hh:mm:ss" format.
NOTE
This field appears only if this device is the BSR.
Next Candidate-RP-
advertisement message
in
Indicates how much time will pass before the BSR sends the next candidate PR
advertisement message. The time is displayed in "hh:mm:ss" format.
NOTE
This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.
