entire network, all these routers will discard bootstrap messages from out of the legal address

range.

The preventive measures can partially protect the security of BSRs in a network. If a legal BSR is controlled
by an attacker, the preceding problem will still occur.
Follow these steps to configure a C-BSR:

Use the command…

Configure an interface as a C-BSR

c-bsr interface-type

Required
No C-BSRs are configured by

default.

Configure a legal BSR address

bsr-policy acl-number

Optional
No restrictions on BSR address
range by default

NOTE:

Because a large amount of information needs to be exchanged between a BSR and the other devices in
the BIDIR-PIM domain, a relatively large bandwidth should be provided between the C-BSRs and the
other devices in the BIDIR-PIM domain.

For C-BSRs interconnected through a GRE tunnel, multicast static routes need to be configured to ensure
that the next hop to a C-BSR is a Tunnel interface. For more information about multicast static routes, see

the chapter “Multicast routing and forwarding configuration.”

Configuring a BIDIR-PIM domain border

As the administrative core of a BIDIR-PIM domain, the BSR sends the collected RP-Set information in the
form of bootstrap messages to all routers in the BIDIR-PIM domain.
A BIDIR-PIM domain border is a bootstrap message boundary. Each BSR has its specific service scope.

A number of BIDIR-PIM domain border interfaces partition a network into different BIDIR-PIM domains.

Bootstrap messages cannot cross a domain border in either direction.
Perform the following configuration on routers that you want to configure as the PIM domain border.
Follow these steps to configure a BIDIR-PIM domain border:

Required
By default, no BIDIR-PIM domain
border is configured.

Configuring global C-BSR parameters

In each BIDIR-PIM domain, a unique BSR is elected from C-BSRs. The C-RPs in the BIDIR-PIM domain send

advertisement messages to the BSR. The BSR summarizes the advertisement messages to form an RP-set
