xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual NOTE: The Probe time value must be less than half of the Register Suppression Time value. If not, the administrator will be presented with an error message after clicking Apply. PIM Candidate RP Global Settings The following window is used to set the Parameters for this Switch to become the RP of its distribution tree. To view this window, click Configuration > Layer 3 IP Networking > IP Multicast Routing Protocol > PIM Protocol > PIM Candidate RP Global Settings. Figure 6- 174. PIM Candidate RP Global Settings The following fields can be viewed or set: Parameter Description Hold Time This field is used to set the time Candidate RP (CRP) advertisements are valid on the PIM-SM enabled network. If CRP advertisements are not received by the BSR within this time frame, the CRP is removed from the list of candidates. The user may set a time between 0 - 255 seconds with a default setting of 150 seconds. An entry of 0 will send out one advertisement that states to the BSR that it should be immediately removed from CRP status on the PIM-SM network. Priority Enter a priority value to determine which CRP will become the RP for the distribution tree. This priority value will be included in the router's CRP advertisements. A lower value means a higher priority, yet, if there is a tie for the highest priority, the router having the higher IP address will become the RP. The user may set a priority between 0 - 255 with a default setting of 0. Wildcard Prefix Count The user may set the Prefix Count value of the wildcard group address here by choosing a value between 0 and 1 with a default setting of 0. Click Apply to implement changes made. PIM Candidate RP Settings The following window will display the parameters for the switch to become a CRP. To view this window, click Configuration > Layer 3 IP Networking > IP Multicast Routing Protocol > PIM Protocol > PIM Candidate RP Settings. Figure 6- 175.
