## Configure the BSR Candidate

A BSR is a dynamically elected router within a PIMv6 domain. When you configure a PIMv6 BSR candidate, you set the preference value for the local interface as a candidate bootstrap router. The `no` form of the command sets the default preference value for the local interface as a candidate bootstrap router.

1. Associate the `VLAN 7` interface with the PIMv6 component 1.

       SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 7
       SEFOS(config-if)# ipv6 pim componentId 1
       SEFOS(config-if)# end

2. Set the BSR-candidate preference to 20 for the `VLAN 7` interface.

       SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 7
       SEFOS(config-if)# ipv6 pim bsr-candidate 20
       SEFOS(config-if)# end

3. Review the BSR priority.

       SEFOS# show ipv6 pim bsr
