Viewing the current bootstrap router (BSR)

PIM-SM cannot run without a bootstrap router (BSR). Although a PIM-SM domain can have only one active BSR, you can configure additional routers as candidate BSRs (C-BSRs). A C-BSR provides backup protection in case the primary BSR fails.

To display information about the current bootstrap router (BSR) for a PIM-SM domain with Device Manager:

  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose IP Routing > PIM.
    2. The PIM dialog box opens with the Globals tab displayed.
  2. Click the Current BSR tab.
    3. The Current BSR tab opens.
