xStack® DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch PIM Candidate RP Settings The following window is used to set the Parameters for this Switch to become a candidate RP. To view this window, click L3 Features > IP Multicast Routing Protocol > PIM > PIM Candidate RP Settings, as shown below: Figure 4- 129. PIM Candidate RP Settings window The following fields can be viewed or set: Parameter Description Candidate RP Hold Time (0-255) Candidate RP Priority (0-255) Candidate RP Wildcard Prefix Count This field is used to set the time Candidate RP (CRP) advertisements are valid on the PIMSM 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 and 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. 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 and 255 with a default setting of 192. 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. To remove an entry from the table, click its corresponding under the Delete heading. To add a PIM Candidate RP, click the Add button in the previous window, which will display the following window for the user to configure. Figure 4- 130.
