When you configure a C-BSR, reserve a relatively large bandwidth between the C-BSR and the other
devices in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
To configure a C-BSR:

Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

2. Enter IPv6 PIM view.

3. Configure a C-BSR.

By default, no C-BSR is configured.
4. (Optional.) Configure a legal
BSR address range.

By default, no restrictions are
defined.
Configuring an IPv6 PIM domain border
As the administrative core of an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, the BSR sends the collected RP-set information in
the form of bootstrap messages to all routers in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
An IPv6 PIM domain border is a bootstrap message boundary. Each BSR has its specific service scope.
IPv6 PIM domain border interfaces partition a network into different IPv6 PIM-SM domains. Bootstrap
messages cannot cross a domain border in either direction.
Perform the following configuration on routers that you want to configure as an IPv6 PIM domain border.

Disabling the BSM semantic fragmentation function
Generally, a BSR periodically advertises the RP-set information in BSMs within the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
It encapsulates a BSM in an IPv6 datagram and might fragment the datagram if the message exceeds the
MTU. In this case, 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
BSM fragments (BSMFs).
• If the RP-set information for an IPv6 multicast group range is carried in one BSMF, a non-BSR router
directly updates the RP-set information for the group range after receiving the BSMF.
• If the RP-set information for an IPv6 multicast group range is carried in multiple BSMFs, a non-BSR
router updates the RP-set information for the group range after receiving all these BSMFs. Because
the RP-set information contained in each segment is different, loss of some IP fragments does not
result in dropping of the entire BSM.
The BSM semantic fragmentation function is enabled by default. A device that does not support this
function might regard a fragment as a BSM and thus learns only part of the RP-set information. Therefore,
