unidirectional shared trees rooted at a rendezvous point (RP) for a multicast group or a shortest path tree
rooted at a specific source for a multicast group.
Usage Examples
The following example enables PIM sparse mode on the MEF Ethernet interface:
(config)#interface mef-ethernet 0/1
(config-mef-ethernet 0/1)#ip pim sparse-mode
