The router that makes the decision about SPT via source or shared is the
initial PIM router that started the process to begin with (typically the one
with the user hanging off another interface). Nobody else gets to make that
decision in any given multicast conversation.

So if it's R4, that'll only work when R4 was the one who had a user
requesting it and is the PIM router in charge.

HTH,

Scott

As far as I know you apply it to any router that you wish to prevent using
the SPT (in other words make it use the shared tree). So if you only want to
prevent R4 from using the SPT you configure it on R4.

I stand to be corrected though.

Hello Group,

 

I would like to know exactly where above command needs to be applied in
Multicast topology. Is it just on RP's, leaf routers or leaf + RP's ?

 

The above relates to " ip pim spt-threshold infinity" and " ip pim
spt-threshold 128".

 

Regards, Inder
