You can specify the amount of time (in seconds) the data rate is monitored before data will be transmitted through the SPT. The SPT switching period must be configured to switch to SPT. You can instruct SPT switching to monitor the data rate for both the source and the group.
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)# set ip pim spt-switchperiod 5 SEFOS(config)# end
This example transmits data through the SPT when the data transfer rate for the group exceeds 10 bps. The switch monitors the activity for 5 seconds.
SEFOS# show ip pim thresholds PIM SPT Threshold Information ----------------------------- Group Threshold : 10 Source Threshold : 15 Switching Period : 5 PIM SPT-RP Threshold Information -------------------------------- Register Threshold : 0 RP Switching Period : 0 Register Stop rate limit : 5
