Monitoring BSR Information for IPv6
Purpose
Display BSR information and the group prefixes for which the local router is a candidate RP in a PIM sparse mode environment.
Action
To display information on a router that is the elected BSR:
host1:1#show ipv6 pim bsr This PIM router is a Candidate BSR. Configured on intf ATM3/0.101, address: ::107:9 hashMaskLen 30, priority 2, period 60 seconds. Elected BSR is this router, next BSM in 3 seconds. Local candidate RP mapping(s): Candidate RP ::107:9 ::108:86, BSR, hold-time 150, interval 60, priority 192 ::108:87, BSR, hold-time 150, interval 60, priority 192, from access-list acl ::108:88, BSR, hold-time 150, interval 60, priority 192, from access-list acl
To display information on a router that is a candidate BSR:
host1:1#show ipv6 pim bsr This PIM router is a Candidate BSR. Configured on intf ATM3/0.100, address: ::107:9 hashMaskLen 30, priority 2, period 60 seconds. Elected BSR is ::107:8 (priority 0), expires in 73 seconds.
To display information on a router that is not a candidate BSR:
host1:1#show ipv6 pim bsr This PIM router is not a Candidate BSR. Elected BSR is ::107:9 (priority 0), expires in 73 seconds.
Meaning
Table 80 lists the show ipv6 pim bsr command output fields.
