TABLE 257 Output of show ip pim bsr
Field Description
BSR address
or
local BSR address
The IP address of the interface configured as the PIM Sparse Bootstrap Router (BSR).
NOTE: If the word “local” does not appear in the field, this Layer 3 switch is the BSR. If the
word “local” does appear, this Layer 3 switch is not the BSR.
Uptime The amount of time the BSR has been running.
NOTE: This field appears only if this Layer 3 switch is the BSR.
BSR priority
or
local BSR priority
The priority assigned to the interface for use during the BSR election process. During BSR
election, the priorities of the candidate BSRs are compared and the interface with the
highest BSR priority becomes the BSR.
NOTE: If the word “local” does not appear in the field, this Layer 3 switch is the BSR. If the
word “local” does appear, this Layer 3 switch is not the BSR.
Hash mask length The number of significant bits in the IP multicast group comparison mask. This mask
determines the IP multicast group numbers for which the Layer 3 switch can be a BSR. The
default is 32 bits, which allows the Layer 3 switch to be a BSR for any valid IP multicast
group number.
NOTE: This field appears only if this Layer 3 switch is the BSR.
