xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual PIM Candidate BSR Settings The following windows are used to configure the Candidate Boot Strap Router settings for the switch and the priority of the selected IP interface to become the Boot Strap Router (BSR) for the PIM enabled network. The Boot Strap Router holds the information which determines which router on the network is to be elected as the RP for the multicast group and then to gather and distribute RP information to other PIM-SM enabled routers. To view the Candidate BSR window, click Configuration > Layer 3 IP Networking > IP Multicast Routing Protocol > PIM Protocol > PIM Candidate BSR Settings. Figure 6- 171. PIM Candidate BSR Global Settings window The following fields can be set: Parameter Description Hash Mask Len Enter a hash mask length, which will be used with the IP address of the candidate RP and the multicast group address, to calculate the hash algorithm used by the router to determine which C-RP on the PIM-SM enabled network will be the RP. The user may select a length between 0 -32 with a default setting of 30. Bootstrap Period Enter a time period between 1-255 to determine the interval the Switch will send out Boot Strap Messages (BSM) to the PIM enabled network. The default setting is 60 seconds.
