ipv6 pim dr-priority

Configures the designated router (DR) priority on IPv6 interfaces.
Syntax
ipv6 pim dr-priority priority-value
no ipv6 pim priority-value
Command Default

The DR priority value is 1.

Parameters
priority-value
Specifies the DR priority value as an integer. The range is 0 through 65535. The default is 1.
Modes

Interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The no form of this command restores the default DR priority value, 1.

You must enable PIM globally before you enable it on an interface.

If more than one device has the same DR priority on a subnet (as in the case of default DR priority on all), the device with the numerically highest IPv6 address on that subnet is elected as the DR.

The DR priority information is used in the DR election only if all the PIM devices connected to the subnet support the DR priority option. If at least one PIM device on the subnet does not support this option, the DR election falls back to the backwards compatibility mode in which the device with the numerically highest IPv6 address on the subnet is declared the DR regardless of the DR priority values.

Examples

This example configures a DR priority value of 50 on Ethernet interface 3/2/4.

device(config) interface ethernet 3/2/4
Device(config-if-e10000-3/2/4)# ipv6 pim dr-priority 50

This example configures a DR priority value of 50 on a virtual Ethernet interface.

Device(config)# interface ve 10
Device(config-vif-10)# ipv6 pim dr-priority 50
