config pim crp
Purpose To configure the Candidate RP settings that will determine the RP.
Syntax
config pim crp {holdtime <value 0-255> | priority <value 0-255> |
wildcard_prefix_cnt [0 | 1]}
Description This command will configure parameters regarding the Candidate RP
on the Switch, including hold time, priority and wildcard prefix count.
This command is for PIM-SM configurations only.
Parameters holdtime <value 0-255> - 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 and 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 <value 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 and 255 with a default setting of 192.
wildcard_prefix_cnt [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.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Usage example:
To configure the Candidate RP settings:
DGS-3600:4#config pim crp holdtime 150 priority 2 wildcard_prefix_cnt 0
Command: config pim crp holdtime 150 priority 2 wildcard_prefix_cnt 0
Success.
