Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If multiple C-BSRs are deployed in a PIM-SM domain, a BSR is elected based on the following rules:

The C-BSR with the highest priority wins.
If the C-BSRs have the same priority, the C-BSR with the largest IP address wins.
To have a C-BSR be elected as the BSR, run the c-bsr priority command to set a larger priority value for the C-BSR than those of the other C-BSRs.

Prerequisites

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

Configuration Impact

If the c-bsr priority command is run more than once, the latest configuration overrides the previous one.

Example

# In the public network instance, specify 5 as the global priority value for C-BSRs.
