c-bsr group

Function

The c-bsr group command specifies the range of multicast groups that an administrative domain can serve on a C-BSR.

The undo c-bsr group command restores the default configuration.

By default, range of multicast groups that an administrative domain can serve is not configured.

Format

c-bsr group group-address { mask | mask-length } [ hash-length hash-length | priority priority ] *

undo c-bsr group group-address

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
group-address Specifies a multicast group address. The address is in dotted decimal notation. The value ranges from 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
mask Specifies the mask of a multicast group address. The address is in dotted decimal notation.
mask-length Indicates the mask length of a multicast address. The value is an integer ranging from 8 to 32.
hash-length hash-length Specifies the hash mask length for the C-BSR in a BSR administrative domain. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 32. By default, it is 30.
priority priority Specifies the priority of the C-BSR in the BSR administrative domain. A larger value indicates a higher priority. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 255. By default, it is 0.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After a PIM-SM domain is divided into different BSR administrative domains, configure a multicast group address for each BSR administrative domain on the C-BSR. The group addresses must be in the range of 239.0.0.0/8. The group address ranges served by different BSR administrative domains can overlap. The address of a multicast group that a BSR administrative domain serves is used as a private group address.

By running this command on the C-BSR of each administrative domain, you can specify the group address of the administrative domain served by each C-BSR and the priority of each C-BSR.

Prerequisites

IP multicast routing has been enabled using the multicast routing-enable command in the public network instance or VPN instance.

Configuration Impact

If the c-bsr group command is run several times, the latest configuration overrides the previous one.

After the undo pim command or the undo multicast routing-enable command is run in the system view or the VPN instance view, the C-BSRs in the BSR administrative domain are automatically disabled.

Example

# In the public network instance PIM view, configure a C-BSR in the BSR administrative domain to serve groups 239.0.0.0/8, and set the priority of the C-BSR to 10.
