Displays...

BSR address

The IPv6 address of the interface configured as the IPv6 PIM Sparse Bootstrap
Router (BSR).

Uptime

The amount of time the BSR has been running.
NOTE: This field appears only if this device is the BSR.

BSR priority

The priority assigned to the interface for use during the BSR election process.
During BSR election, the priorities of the candidate BSRs are compared and the
interface with the highest BSR priority becomes the BSR.

Hash mask length

The number of significant bits in the IPv6 multicast group comparison mask. This
mask determines the IPv6 multicast group numbers for which the device can be a
BSR. The default is 32 bits, which allows the device to be a BSR for any valid IPv6
multicast group number.
NOTE: This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.

Next bootstrap message in

Indicates how many seconds will pass before the BSR sends its next Bootstrap
message.
NOTE: This field appears only if this device is the BSR.

Next
Candidate-RP-advertisement
message in

Indicates how many seconds will pass before the BSR sends its next candidate PR
advertisement message.
NOTE: This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.

RP

Indicates the IPv6 address of the Rendezvous Point (RP).
NOTE: This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.

group prefixes

Indicates the multicast groups for which the RP listed by the previous field is a
candidate RP.
NOTE: This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.

Candidate-RP-advertisement
period
