Filtering PIM Bootstrap Messages

You can create import and export policies to control the flow of bootstrap messages to and from the RP, and apply them to PIM. To apply one or more import policies to bootstrap messages imported into the RP, include the import statement:




import [ policy-names ];

For a list of the hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see the statement summary section for this statement.

To apply one or more export policies to bootstrap messages exported from the RP, include the export statement:




export [ policy-names ];

For a list of the hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see the statement summary section for this statement.

For an example, see Example: Rejecting PIM Bootstrap Messages at the Boundary of a PIM Domain.

Note: The bootstrap statement stanza supports both IPv4 and IPv6. A priority of 0 does not disable the function, but causes the router to send BSR packets with a 0 in the priority field. To disable the bootstrap function, delete the configuration statements.
