Specify the PIM Threshold That Triggers SPT Switching

You can specify the number of packets (in bps) that must be transmitted from the group or source to cause data to be transmitted through the SPT. The SPT threshold must be configured to switch to SPT.

1. Configure the group and source threshold values.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim enable
   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim threshold spt-grp 10
   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim threshold spt-src 15
   SEFOS(config)# end
   

   This example transmits data through the SPT when the data transfer rate for the group exceeds 10 bps. Data is transmitted through the SPT when the data transfer rate for the source exceeds 15 bps.

2. Ensure that the correct data transfer rate has been set.
