Configure the Group and Source Thresholds

Configuring the PIMv6 group threshold sets the maximum limit for the rate of the flow of data in the group. Configuring the source threshold sets the maximum limit for the rate of the flow of data from the source to the receiver. When the rate of the flow of data exceeds the SPT group or source threshold, switching to the SPT is initiated. You must configure the threshold value to switch to SPT.

  1. Enable PIMv6 in the router.
    SEFOS# configure terminal
    SEFOS(config)# set ipv6 pim enable
    SEFOS(config)# end
  2. Set the SPT group threshold to 10 data packets.
    SEFOS# configure terminal
    SEFOS(config)# set ip pim threshold spt-grp 10
  3. Set the SPT source threshold to 15 data packets.
    SEFOS(config)# set ip pim threshold spt-src 15
    SEFOS(config)# end
  4. Review the threshold values.
    SEFOS# show ipv6 pim thresholds
