The show ipv6 pim bsr command displays the following information:

Output Field

Description

BSR address

The IPv6 address of the interface configured as the IPv6 PIM Sparse (BSR.

BSR priority

The priority assigned to the interface for use during the BSR election process. During BSR election, the priorities of the candidate BSRs are compared and the interface with the highest BSR priority becomes the BSR.

Hash mask length

The number of significant bits in the IPv6 multicast group comparison mask. This mask determines the IPv6 multicast group numbers for which the device can be a BSR. The default is 32 bits, which allows the device to be a BSR for any valid IPv6 multicast group number.

Note: This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.

Next bootstrap message in

Indicates how many seconds will pass before the BSR sends its next Bootstrap message.

Note: This field appears only if this device is the BSR.

Next Candidate-RP-advertisement message in

Indicates how many seconds will pass before the BSR sends its next candidate RP advertisement message.

Note: This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.

RP

Indicates the IPv6 address of the Rendezvous Point (RP).

Note: This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.

group prefixes

Indicates the multicast groups for which the RP listed by the previous field is a candidate RP.

Note: This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.

Candidate-RP-advertisement period

Indicates how frequently the BSR sends candidate RP advertisement messages.

Note: This field appears only if this device is a candidate BSR.
