[Xorp-users] two BSRs

[Mikael Johansson]

I am trying to configure two BSRs so that one router is BSR for some
multicast groups and another router is BSR for different multicast
groups.

Routers are connected like this:

A --- B --- C

Both Router B and Router C are defined as BSR candidates, Router B for
225.13.0.0/24 (eth1, 10.0.0.1) and Router C for 225.12.0.0/24 (eth1,
10.0.0.2).

I would expect to see both 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 as BSRs on Router A,
but command "show pim bootstrap" on Router A shows only one BSR:

> show pim bootstrap
Active zones:
BSR             Pri LocalAddress    Pri State           Timeout SZTimeout
10.0.0.2          1 0.0.0.0           0 AcceptPreferred      73      1243
Expiring zones:
BSR             Pri LocalAddress    Pri State           Timeout SZTimeout
Configured zones:
BSR             Pri LocalAddress    Pri State           Timeout SZTimeout
