Configuring switchover to SPT

CAUTION:
If the router is an RP, disabling switchover to SPT might cause multicast traffic forwarding failures on the
source-side DR. When disabling switchover to SPT, be sure you fully understand its impact on your
network.
To configure switchover to SPT
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter IPv6 PIM view.
3. Configure the criteria for
triggering a switchover to SPT.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure common IPv6 PIM features, complete the following tasks:
• Configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.
Configure IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SM.
•

Configuring an IPv6 multicast data filter

In either an IPv6 PIM-DM domain or an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, routers can check passing-by IPv6 multicast
data and determine whether to continue forwarding the IPv6 multicast data based on the configured
filtering rules. In other words, an IPv6 PIM router can act as an IPv6 multicast data filter, which can help
implement traffic control and also control the information available to downstream receivers.

By default, both the receiver-side
DR and RP immediately trigger the
switchover from RPT to SPT after
receiving the first multicast packet.
