Router Pim configuration
These steps configure the PIM-SM in the Router PIM context (switch (pim)#_
).
-
Specify the VLAN interface to advertise as the BSR Candidate and enable the router to advertise itself as a candidate BSR in a PIM-SM domain. (Use
bsr-candidate source-ip-vlan vid
.) -
Option: To make NSR candidate selection occur quickly and predictably, set a different priority on each BSR candidate in the domain. (Use
bsr-candidate priority
.) -
Do one of the following to configure RP operation:
- Option: In the PIM router context, change one or more of the traffic control settings.
Options Accessed in Router PIM Context |
Operation |
---|---|
rp-candidate group-prefix group-addr/group-mask |
Enter an address and mask to define an additional multicast group or a range of groups. |
rp-candidate hold-time 30-255 |
Tells the BSR how long it should expect the sending C-RP router to be operative. (Default: 150; 0 if router is not a candidate.) |
rp-candidate priority 0-255 |
Changes the priority for the C-RP router. When multiple C-RPs are configured for the same multicast group(s), the priority determines which router becomes the RP for such groups. A smaller value means a higher priority. (Default: 192) |
[ no ] spt-threshold |
Disable or enable the router’s ability to switch multicast traffic flows to the shortest path tree. (Default: enabled) |
join-prune-interval 5-65535 |
Option : Globally change the interval for the frequency at which join and prune messages are forwarded on the router’s VLAN interfaces. (Default: 60 seconds) |
trap neighbor-loss | hardware-mrt-full | software-mrt-full | all
|
Option : Enable or disable PIM traps. (Default: disabled) |
