Configuring C-BSR timers

The BSR election winner multicasts its own IPv6 address and RP-Set information throughout

the region that it serves through bootstrap messages. 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 the BSR state times out and no bootstrap message is received from the

BSR, 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:

Configure the BS period

c-bsr interval interval

Optional

For the default value, see the

note below.

Configure the BS timeout

c-bsr holdtime interval

Optional

For the default value, see the

note below.

About the BS period:

z

By default, the BS period is determined by this formula: BS period = (BS timeout – 10) / 2.

The default BS timeout is 130 seconds, so the default BS period = (130 – 10) / 2 = 60

(seconds).

z

If this parameter is manually configured, the system will use the configured value.

About the BS timeout:

z

By default, the BS timeout value is determined by this formula: BS timeout = BS period × 2

+ 10. The default BS period is 60 seconds, so the default BS timeout = 60 × 2 + 10 = 130

(seconds).

z

If this parameter is manually configured, the system will use the configured value.
