Description

Defines a router as a bootstrap router (BSR) candidate. The no version disables the router BSR candidacy.

Options

• interfaceType—Interface type; see Interface Types and Specifiers
• interfaceSpecifier—Particular interface; format varies according to interface type; see Interface Types and Specifiers. The autoRP announcement messages will contain the IP address for this interface.
• hashMaskLen—Length (up to 32 bits) of the hash mask length field sent in BSMs that the router originates. This mask is combined with the group address before the router calls the hash function. For example, specifying a value of 24 limits the group address to the first 24 bits. The default value is 30 bits
• priority—Value in the range 0–255 of the BSR-Priority field of BSMs that the router originates. In the BSR election process, the BSR with the higher priority is preferred. If the priority values are equal, the router with the higher IP address becomes the BSR. The default value is 0
• bootstrapPeriod—Interval in the range 1–65535 seconds at which the BSR sends bootstrap messages; default value is 60 seconds
