Configuring PIM-SM on the Router

Router PIM Context Commands for Configuring PIM­
SM Operation

This section describes the commands used in the Router PIM context to:

enable or disable SNMP trap status for PIM events (default: disabled)

configure candidate Bootstrap Router (BSR) operation

configure candidate Rendezvous Point (RP) operation or the (optional)
static Rendezvous Point (RP) operation

N o t e

Before configuring BSR, RP, and SNMP trap operation for PIM-SM, it is
necessary to enable PIM-SM on at least one VLAN on the router.

Configuring a BSR Candidate

Select the VLAN Interface To Advertise as a BSR Candidate.

Syntax: [no] bsr-candidate source-ip-vlan < vid >

[no] router pim bsr-candidate source-ip-vlan < vid >

Configures the router to advertise itself as a candidate PIM­
SM Bootstrap Router (BSR) on the VLAN interface specified
by

source-ip-vlan < vid >, and enables BSR candidate operation.

This makes the router eligible to be elected as the BSR for the
PIM-SM domain in which it operates. Note that one BSR
candidate VLAN interface is allowed per-router. The

no form

of the command deletes the BSR source IP VLAN configuration
and also disables the router from being a BSR candidate if this
option has been enabled. (See the

bsr-candidate command,

below.)

Enable or Disable BSR Candidate Operation on a Router.

Syntax: [no] bsr-candidate

[no] router pim bsr-candidate

Disables or re-enables the router for advertising itself as a
Candidate-BSR on the VLAN interface specified by

source-ip­

vlan < vid >. This command is used to disable and re-enable BSR
candidate operation after the

bsr-candidate source-ip-vlan < vid

> command has been used to enable C-BSR operation on the
router. (That is, this command operates only after the BSR
source-ip-VLAN ID has been configured.)
(Default: Disabled.)
