PIM-SM (Sparse Mode)
Configuring PIM-SM on the Router
Changing the Bootstrap Router Message Interval.
Syntax: bsr-candidate bsm-interval < 5 - 300 >
[no] router pim bsr-candidate bsm-interval < 5 - 300 >
Specifies the interval in seconds for sending periodic RP-Set
messages on all PIM-SM interfaces on a router operating as
the elected BSR in a domain.
Note: This setting must be smaller than the rp-candidate hold-
time settings (range of 30 - 255; default 150) configured in the
RPs operating in the domain. (Default: 60; Range 5 - 300.)
Configuring Candidate-RPs on PIM-SM Routers
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.
An RP candidate advertises its availability, IP address, and the multicast group
or range of groups it supports. The commands in this section are used to
configure RP candidate operation. The sequence of steps is as follows:
1. Specify the Source IP VLAN.
2. Enable Candidate-RP operation.
3. Optional: Enable or disable specific multicast address groups.
Specify the Source IP VLAN (and Optionally Configure one or more
Multicast Groups or Range of Groups).
Specifying the source IP VLAN
ID automatically configures the RP candidate to support all multicast groups
(unless you include an individual group or range of groups in the command).
The recommended approach is to allow all multicast groups unless you have
a reason to limit the permitted groups to a specific set.
