Configuring global C-BSR parameters

In each PIM-SM domain, a unique BSR is elected from C-BSRs. The C-RPs in the PIM-SM domain send
advertisement messages to the BSR. The BSR summarizes the advertisement messages to form an RP-set

and advertises it to all routers in the PIM-SM domain. All the routers use the same hash algorithm to get

the RP address that corresponds to specific multicast groups.
Perform the following configuration on C-BSR routers.
Follow these steps to configure C-BSR parameters:

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
By default, the C-BSR priority is 64.

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-BSRs for each admin-scope zone and the global-scope zone

.”

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.
