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 the 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 occurs. If the BSR state times out and no bootstrap

message is received from the BSR, a new BSR election process begins among the C-BSRs.
Perform the following configuration on C-BSR routers.
To configure C-BSR timers:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter IPv6 PIM view.

pim ipv6

N/A

3.

Configure the BS period.

c-bsr interval interval

Optional.
For the default value, see the note

after this table.

4.

Configure the BS timeout.

c-bsr holdtime interval

Optional.
For the default value, see the note

after this table.

NOTE:

About the BS period:

By default, the BS period is determined by the formula "BS period = (BS timeout – 10) / 2". The default
BS timeout is 130 seconds, so the default BS period = (130 – 10) / 2 = 60 (seconds).

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

About the BS timeout:

By default, the BS timeout value is determined by the formula "BS timeout = BS period × 2 + 10". The
default BS period is 60 seconds, so the default BS timeout = 60 × 2 + 10 = 130 (seconds).

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

CAUTION:

In configuration, make sure that the BS period is smaller than the BS timeout value.

Disabling BSM semantic fragmentation

Generally, a BSR periodically distributes the RP-set information in bootstrap messages within the IPv6
PIM-SM domain. It encapsulates a BSM in an IPv6 datagram and might split the datagram into fragments

if the message exceeds the maximum transmission unit (MTU). In respect of such IP fragmentation, loss of

a single IP fragment leads to unavailability of the entire message.
Semantic fragmentation of BSMs can solve this issue. When a BSM exceeds the MTU, it is split to multiple
bootstrap message fragments (BSMFs).
