Configure a filtering rule for register messages on all C-RP routers, and configure them to calculate the
checksum based on the entire register messages. Configure the register suppression time and the register
probe time on all routers that might become source-side DRs.
Follow these steps to configure register-related parameters:

Disabling SPT switchover
If an A5500 EI switch acts as an RP or the receiver-side DR, it initiates an STP switchover process by
default upon receiving the first IPv6 multicast packet along the RPT. You can disable the switchover from
RPT to SPT.
Follow these steps to configure SPT switchover:
To do...
Use the command...

Optional
By default, the device switches to
the SPT immediately after it
receives the first IPv6 multicast
packet from the RPT.
CAUTION:
For an A5500-EI switch, once an IPv6 multicast forwarding entry is created, subsequent IPv6 multicast
data will not be encapsulated in register messages before being forwarded even if a register outgoing
interface is available. Therefore, to avoid forwarding failure, do not use the
spt-switch-threshold
infinity
command on a switch that might become an RP—namely, a static RP or a C-RP.
