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…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter public network PIM view or
VPN instance PIM view

pim [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]

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-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.
Follow these steps to configure C-BSR timers:
