Use this command to enable the router to announce its candidacy as a BootStrap Router (BSR).
| interface-address | Address of the BSR candidate interface. With the exception of a loopback interface, the interface used as the BSR candidate must be enabled with PIM as described in ip pim sparse-mode. |
| priority priority | (Optional) Specifies a BSR priority value ranging from 0–255. Higher values assign higher priority. The BSR with the larger priority is preferred. If priority values are the same, the IP address breaks the tie. The BSR candidate with the higher IP address is preferred. Default value: 0. |
If priority is not specified, 0 will be applied.
Configuration command.
Only one BSR candidate can be configured per router.
The “no” form of this command removes the router as a BSR candidate.
This example sets the BSR priority to 77 on 10.0.0.1:
System(su-config)->ip pim bsr-candidate 10.0.0.1 priority 77
