RE: Avoiding (S,G) Entries

Hello group,

Any takers to this ?

I understand that with PIM-BIDIR no (S,G) entries are created. But when the
RP becomes unavailable, i assume that PIM will fallback from SM to DM. Maybe
not, if all the interfaces are configured as PIM-SM only. So i see the the
combinations that follow in order to avoid any (S,G) entries:

- PIM-BIDIR + all PIM interfaces configured in SM only.

- PIM-SM + interfaces configured in SM-DM + no ip pim dm-fallback

The command "ip pim spt-threshold infinity" does not resolve the problem in
the path from the RP upstream to the Source. At least one router will have
an (S,G) entry.

Thanks,
Antonio

Hello group,

I have some problems with the task wording when it calls to avoid (S,G)
entries in the Mcast Routing Table.

I see 3 options and i would like to have your inputs regarding the different
behaviours we get with each command:

- ip pim bidir-enable and ip pim rp-address x.x.x.x bidir

- no ip pim dm-fallback

- ip pim spt-threshold infinity

Thanks,
Antonio
