4. Configure the BS
timeout timer.
c-bsr holdtime
interval
Optional.
By default, the BS timeout timer is determined by the formula
"BS timeout timer = BS period × 2 + 10." The default BS
period is 60 seconds, so the default BS timeout timer is 60 ×
2 + 10 = 130 (seconds).
NOTE:
If yon configure the BS period or the BS timeout timer, the system uses the confi

default one.
Disabling BSM semantic fragmentation
Generally, a BSR periodically distributes the RP-set information in bootstrap messages within the IPv6
PIM-SM domain. It encapsulates a BSM in an IPv6 datagram and might split the datagram into fragments
if the message exceeds the MTU. In respect of such IP fragmentation, loss of a single IP fragment leads
to unavailability of the entire message.
Semantic fragmentation of BSMs can solve this issue. When a BSM exceeds the MTU, it is split to multiple
BSMFs.
• After receiving a BSMF that contains the RP-set information of one group range, a non-BSR router
updates corresponding RP-set information directly.
• If the RP-set information of one group range is carried in multiple BSMFs, a non-BSR router updates
corresponding RP-set information after receiving all these BSMFs.
Because the RP-set information contained in each segment is different, loss of some IP fragments will not
result in dropping of the entire message.
Generally, a BSR performs BSM semantic fragmentation according to the MTU of its BSR interface.
However, the semantic fragmentation of BSMs originated due to learning of a new IPv6 PIM neighbor is
performed according to the MTU of the outgoing interface.
The function of BSM semantic fragmentation is enabled by default. A device that does not support this
function might regard a fragment as an entire message and learns only part of the RP-set information.
Therefore, if such devices exist in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain, you need to disable the semantic
fragmentation function on the C-BSRs.
To disable the BSM semantic fragmentation function:

1. Enter system view.

2. Enter IPv6 PIM view.

3. Disable the BSM semantic
fragmentation function.

By default, the BSM semantic
fragmentation function is enabled.
Configuring IPv6 administrative scoping
With IPv6 administrative scoping disabled, an IPv6 PIM-SM domain has only one BSR. The BSR
manages the whole network. To manage your network more effectively and specifically, you can
partition the IPv6 PIM-SM domain into multiple IPv6 admin-scoped zones. Each IPv6 admin-scoped zone
