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.
