bsr-candidate source-ip-interface

Description

Configures the router to advertise itself as a candidate PIM-SM BSR on the interface specified, and enables BSR candidate operation. The result makes the router eligible to be elected as the BSR for the PIM-SM domain in which it operates. One BSR candidate interface is allowed per-router.

The no form of this command removes the Candidate BSR configuration.
