Operation
rp-candidate group-prefix Enter an address and mask to define an additional
< group-addr/group-mask > multicast group or a range of groups.
rp-candidate hold-time Tells the BSR how long it should expect the sending
< 30 - 255 > Candidate-RP router to be operative. (Default: 150; 0 if
router is not a candidate)
rp-candidate priority < 0 - 255 > Changes the priority for the Candidate-RP router. When
multiple C-RPs are configured for the same multicast
group(s), the priority determines which router
becomes the RP for such groups. A smaller value
means a higher priority. (Default: 192)
[ no ] spt-threshold Disable or enable the router’s ability to switch multicast
(page 4-42) traffic flows to the shortest path tree. (Default:
enabled)
join-prune-interval < 5 - 65535 > Optional: Globally change the interval for the frequency
(page 4-30)
at which join and prune messages are forwarded on
the router’s VLAN interfaces. (Default: 60 seconds)
trap Optional: Enable or disable PIM traps. (Default:
< neighbor-loss | disabled.)
