Note:
z
The support for the
timer spt-switch
command depends on the specific device
model.
z
Typically, you need to configure the above-mentioned parameters on the
receiver-side DR and the RP only. Since both the DR and RP are elected, however,
you should carry out these configurations on the routers that may win the DR
election and on the C-RPs that may win RP elections.
z
If the multicast source is learned through MSDP, the device will switch to the SPT
immediately after it receives the first multicast packet from the RPT, no matter how
big the traffic rate threshold is set (this threshold is not configurable on a switch).
7.4 Configuring PIM-SSM
Note:
The PIM-SSM model needs the support of IGMPv3. Therefore, be sure to enable
IGMPv3 on PIM routers with multicast receivers.
