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 following window, click L3 Features > IP Multicast Routing Protocol > PIM > PIM for IPv4 > PIM

select a length between 0 and 32 with a default setting of 30.
Candidate BSR
Bootstrap Period
(1-255)
Enter a time period between 1 and 255 to determine the interval the Switch will send
