Configure the RP Switch Period

Configuring PIMv6 RP switch period specifies the period (in seconds) over which the RP monitors register packets for switching to the source-specific SPT. The received packets should exceed the RP threshold within the RP switch period for switching to the source-specific SPT.

1. Set the SPT group threshold to 10 packets and the source threshold to 15 packets.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim rp-threshold 10
   SEFOS(config)# end
   

2. Set the RP switch period to 15 seconds.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim rp-switchperiod 15
   SEFOS(config)# end
   

3. Review the RP switch period values.

   SEFOS# show ipv6 pim thresholds
