Command Usage
• The default path for packets from a multicast source to a receiver is
through the RP. However, the path through the RP is not always the
shortest path. Therefore, the router uses the RP to forward only the first
packet from a new multicast group to its receivers. Afterwards, it
calculates the shortest path tree (SPT) directly between the receiver
and source, and then uses the SPT to send all subsequent packets from
the source to the receiver instead of using the shared tree.
•The ip pim spt-threshold infinity command forces the router
to use the shared tree for all multicast groups, or just for the specified
multicast groups.
Example
This example prevents the ECN330-switch from using the SPT for multicast
groups 224.1.0.0~224.1.255.255 .
