## Prioritize BSR Candidates

LAN prune delay is disabled in the system by default. This example configures `VLAN 5` as a BSR candidate with a preference value of 20. `VLAN 5` is used as the BSR unless another router is identified as a BSR candidate with a higher `bsr-candidate` value.

1. Enable PIM globally.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# set ip pim enable

2. Enter Interface Configuration mode for the interface.

       SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 5

3. Associate the VLAN interface with the PIM component.

       SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim componentId 1

4. Specify how often (in seconds) the switch sends PIM messages to the interface.

       SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim query-interval 60

5. Configure the candidate preference for the PIM interface `VLAN 5` as 20.

       SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim bsr-candidate 20
       SEFOS(config-if)# end

6. Ensure that the correct BSR preference is set.

       SEFOS# show ip pim bsr
