Step

Remarks

3.

Configure an interface as a
C-BSR.

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

No C-BSRs are configured
by default.

4.

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, static multicast routes
need to be configured to make sure the next hop to a C-BSR is a tunnel interface. For more information
about static multicast routes, see "Configuring multicast routing and forwarding."

2.

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 you want to configure as a PIM domain border.
To configure a PIM domain border:

3.

Configure a PIM domain border. pim bsr-boundary

By default, no PIM domain
border is configured.

3.

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.
