Change PIM dr-priority

[Shibu1978]

Hello,

We are planning to change the PIM dr-priority on a production vlan.  dr-priority was not set earlier hence it took the highest IP address as DR. Unfortunately highest IP address was on a backup switch vlan interface.

We would like to make the PIM DR as Main switch vlan interface by changing the dr-priority.  While making this change will it,any way disturb the production network means any outage may occur during this configuration change?

Please let me your valuable inputs.

Attached is the current DR, priority status.

Thanks 

Shibu

Hello

It shouldn't do , As the DR is only for join messages it isnt a forwarder of MC traffic.

Hello
Yes - that is correct it shouldn't be intrusive-  However as with anything I would put it pass change control prior to making any changes on your production network
