HP VPN Firewall Appliances Network Management Configuration Guide

The following rules apply to the hash mask length and C-BSR priority:
• You configure the hash mask length and C-BSR priority globally, in an admin-scoped zone, and in
the global-scoped zone.
• The values configured in the global-scoped zone or admin-scoped zone have preference over the
global values.
• If you do not configure these parameters in the global-scoped zone or admin-scoped zone, the
corresponding global values will be used.
For information about how to configure C-BSR parameters for an admin-scoped zone and global-scoped
zone, see "Configuring C-BSRs for each admin-scoped zone and the global-scoped zone."
Perform the
following configuration on C-BSR routers.
To configure C-BSR parameters:

Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter public network PIM view.

3. Configure the hash mask length.
c-bsr hash-length hash-length
Optional.
30 by default.
4. Configure the C-BSR priority.
c-bsr priority priority
Optional.
By default, the C-BSR priority is 64.
Configuring C-BSR timers
The BSR election winner multicasts its own IP address and RP-set information through bootstrap messages
within the entire zone it serves. The BSR floods bootstrap messages throughout the network at the interval
of BS (BSR state) period. Any C-BSR that receives a bootstrap message retains the RP-set for the length of
BS timeout timer, during which no BSR election takes place. If no bootstrap message is received from the
BSR when the BS timeout timer expires, a new BSR election process is triggered among the C-BSRs.
Perform the following configuration on C-BSR routers.

3. Configure the BS period.
c-bsr interval interval
Optional.
By default, the BS period is determined by the
formula "BS period = (BS timeout timer– 10) /
2." The default BS timeout timer is 130
seconds, so the default BS period is (130 – 10)
/ 2 = 60 (seconds).
The BS period value must be smaller than the
BS timeout timer.
