IPv6 Multicast Commands
ipv6 pimsm bsr-candidate
Use the ipv6 pimsm bsr-candidate command to configure the router to 
announce its candidacy as a bootstrap router (BSR). Use the "no" form of this 
command to stop the router from announcing its candidacy as a bootstrap 
router.
Syntax
ipv6 pimsm bsr-candidate vlan 
vlan-id hash-mask-len [priority]
no ipv6 pimsm bsr-candidate vlan 
vlan-id
vlan-id—A valid VLAN ID value.
hash-mask-len—The length of a mask that is to be ANDed with the group 
address before the hash function is called. All groups with the same seed 
hash correspond to the same RP. For example, if this value is 24, only the 
first 24 bits of the group addresses matter. This allows you to get one RP 
for multiple groups. (Range 0–128 bits).
priority—The priority of the candidate BSR. The BSR with the higher 
priority is preferred. If the priority values are the same, the router with the 
higher IP address is the BSR. (Range: 0–255).
Default Configuration
The router will not announce its candidacy by default.
The default hash mask length is 126 bits.
The default priority is 0.
