Configuring PIM and PIM6
Configuration for N7K-1:
interface loopback0
ip address 192.168.1.1/32
ip pim sparse-mode
ip pim bsr bsr-candidate loopback0 priority 128
ip pim bsr forward listen
Configuration for N7K-2:
interface loopback0
ip address 192.168.2.1/32
ip pim sparse-mode
ip pim bsr bsr-candidate loopback0
ip pim bsr forward listen
Verification for N7K-1:
show ip pim rp
PIM RP Status Information for VRF "default"
BSR: 192.168.1.1*, next Bootstrap message in: 00:00:12,
Verification for N7K-2:
show ip pim rp
PIM RP Status Information for VRF "default"
BSR: 192.168.1.1, uptime: 00:04:27, expires: 00:02:00,
• If the BSR priorities are the same, the BSR with the highest BSR-candidate IP address is elected as the
BSR router for the PIM domain (see configuration example 2).
Configuration for N7K-1:
interface loopback0
ip address 192.168.1.1/32
ip pim sparse-mode
ip pim bsr bsr-candidate loopback0
ip pim bsr forward listen
priority: 128, hash-length: 30
priority: 128, hash-length: 30
• Configuration example 2—Identical BSR-candidate priorities: In this example, the system elects
the device labeled N7K-2 as the BSR for the PIM domain because it has the highest BSR-candidate
IP address.
