timer spt-switch(IPv6)

Function

The timer spt-switch command sets the interval for checking whether the rate at which multicast data is transmitted exceeds the threshold that can trigger data switching from a rendezvous point tree (RPT) to a shortest path tree (SPT).

The undo timer spt-switch command restores the default value.

By default, the interval is 15 seconds.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Before using the timer spt-switch command, you must use the spt-switch-threshold command to set the rate threshold that can trigger data switching from an RPT to an SPT. Otherwise, running the timer spt-switch command is meaningless.

Prerequisites

The multicast ipv6 routing-enable command is run in the public network instance view.

Configuration Impact

If the timer spt-switch command is run several times, the latest configuration overrides the previous one.

Example

# In the public network instance, set the interval for checking whether the rate at which multicast data is transmitted exceeds the threshold that can trigger data switching from an RPT to an SPT to 30 seconds.
