config pim crp
Purpose To configure the Candidate RP settings that will determine the RP.
Syntax
config pim crp {holdtime <value 0-255> | priority <value 0-255> | wildcard_prefix_cnt [0 |
1]}
Description This command will configure parameters regarding the Candidate RP on the Switch, including
hold time, priority and wildcard prefix count. This command is for PIM-SM configurations only.
Parameters
holdtime <value 0-255> − This field is used to set the time Candidate RP (CRP)
advertisements are valid on the PIM-SM enabled network. If CRP advertisements are not
received by the BSR within this time frame, the CRP is removed from the list of candidates.
The user may set a time between 0 and 255 seconds with a default setting of 150 seconds. An
entry of 0 will send out one advertisement that states to the BSR that it should be immediately
removed from CRP status on the PIM-SM network.
priority <value 0-255> − Enter a priority value to determine which CRP will become the RP for
the distribution tree. This priority value will be included in the router’s CRP advertisements. A
lower value means a higher priority, yet, if there is a tie for the highest priority, the router
having the higher IP address will become the RP. The user may set a priority between 0 and
255 with a default setting of 192.
wildcard_prefix_cnt [0 | 1] − The user may set the Prefix Count value of the wildcard group
address here by choosing a value between 0 and 1 with a default setting of 0.
Restrictions Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure the Candidate RP settings:
DGS-3627:admin# config pim crp holdtime 150 priority 2 wildcard_prefix_cnt 0
Command: config pim crp holdtime 150 priority 2 wildcard_prefix_cnt 0
Success.
