ip pim bsr-candidate
To configure the switch to be a candidate BSR, use the ip pim bsr-candidate command in global configuration
mode. To remove the switch as a candidate BSR, use the no form of this command.
ip pim [vrf vrf-name] bsr-candidate interface-id [hash-mask-length] [priority]
no ip pim [vrf vrf-name] bsr-candidate
Syntax Description
(Optional) Configures the switch to be a candidate BSR for the Multicast Virtual Private
Network (MVPN) routing and forwarding (MVRF) instance specified for the vrf-name
argument.
vrf vrf-name
ID of the interface on this switch from which the BSR address is derived to make it a
candidate. This interface must be enabled for Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
using the ip pim command. Valid interfaces include physical ports, port channels, and
VLANs.
interface-id
(Optional) Length of a mask (32 bits maximum) that is to be ANDed with the group
address before the PIMv2 hash function is called. All groups with the same seed hash
correspond to the same rendezvous point ( RP). For example, if this value is 24, only
the first 24 bits of the group addresses matter. The hash mask length allows one RP to
be used for multiple groups. The default hash mask length is 0.
hash-mask-length
(Optional) Priority of the candidate BSR (C-BSR). The range is from 0 to 255. The
default priority is 0. The C-BSR with the highest priority value is preferred.

Usage Guidelines
The interface specified for this command must be enabled for Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) using
the ip pim command.
This command configures the switch to send BSR messages to all of its PIM neighbors, with the address of
the designated interface as the BSR address.
This command should be configured on backbone switches that have good connectivity to all parts of the PIM
domain.
