The above-mentioned preventive measures can partially protect the security of BSRs in a network.

However, if a legal BSR is controlled by an attacker, the above-mentioned problem will still occur.
Follow these steps to configure a C-BSR:

To do…

Use the command…

Configure an interface as a C-BSR

c-bsr interface-type
interface-number
[ hash-length

[ priority ] ]

Required
No C-BSRs are configured by

default.

Configure a legal BSR address
range

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 PIM-SM domain, a relatively large bandwidth should be provided between the
C-BSRs and the other devices in the PIM-SM domain.

For C-BSRs interconnected via a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel, multicast static
routes need to be configured to ensure that the next hop to a C-BSR is a GRE interface. For more

information about multicast static routes, see

Multicast Routing and Forwarding Configuration in

the

IP Multicast Volume.

Configuring a PIM domain border

As the administrative core of a PIM-SM domain, the BSR sends the collected RP-Set information in the

form of bootstrap messages to all routers in the PIM-SM domain.
A PIM domain border is a bootstrap message boundary. Each BSR has its specific service scope. A

number of PIM domain border interfaces partition a network into different PIM-SM domains. Bootstrap

messages cannot cross a domain border in either direction
Perform the following configuration on routers that can become a PIM domain border.
Follow these steps to configure a PIM domain border:

To do…

Required
By default, no PIM domain border

is configured.

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
