The following fields can be viewed or set:
Parameter Description
Hold Time (0-
255 sec.)
This field is used to set the time Candidate RP (CRP) advertisements are valid on the PIM-SM
enabled network. If CRP advertisements are not received by the BSR within this time frame, the
CRP is removed from the list of candidates. The user may set a time between 0 - 255 seconds
with a default setting of 150 seconds. An entry of 0 will send out one advertisement that states to
the BSR that it should be immediately removed from CRP status on the PIM-SM network.
Priority (0-255)
Enter a priority value to determine which CRP will become the RP for the distribution tree. This
priority value will be included in the router’s CRP advertisements. A lower value means a higher
priority, yet, if there is a tie for the highest priority, the router having the higher IP address will
become the RP. The user may set a priority between 0 – 255 with a default setting of 0.
Wildcard Prefix
Count (0|1)
The user may set the Prefix Count value of the wildcard group address here by choosing a value
between 0 and 1 with a default setting of 0.
Click Apply to implement changes made.
