Configuring C-BSR parameters globally
In each IPv6 PIM-SM domain, a unique BSR is elected from C-BSRs. The C-RPs in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain
send advertisement messages to the BSR. The BSR summarizes the advertisement messages to form an
RP-set and advertises it to all routers in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain. All the routers use the same hash
algorithm to get the RP address that corresponds to specific IPv6 multicast groups.
Perform the following configuration on C-BSR routers.

3. Configure the hash mask

Optional.
64 by default.
Configuring C-BSR timers
The BSR election winner multicasts its own IPv6 address and RP-set information throughout the region that
it serves through bootstrap messages. The BSR floods bootstrap messages throughout the network at the
interval of the 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 occurs. If no bootstrap message is received
from the BSR when the BS timeout timer expires, a new BSR election process begins 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.
