The PIM router does not participate in BSR election.
PIM Router configuration mode
The
no form of this command makes the PIM router cease to act as a candidate BSR.
Each PIM Sparse domain has one active BSR. For redundancy, you can configure ports on multiple devices as candidate BSRs. The PIM Sparse protocol uses an election process to select one of the candidate BSRs as the BSR for the domain. The BSR with the highest BSR priority is elected. If the priorities result in a tie, the candidate BSR interface with the highest IP address is elected.
Although you can configure the device as only a candidate BSR or an RP, it is recommended that you configure the same interface on the same device as both a BSR and an RP.
The following example uses a physical interface to configure a device as a candidate BSR.
device(config)# router pim Device(config-pim-router)# bsr-candidate ethernet 1/2/2 30 255
The following example uses a loopback interface to configure a device as a candidate BSR.
device(config)# router pim device(config-pim-router)# bsr-candidate loopback 1 30 240
