NOTE: You can influence the selection of the Rendezvous Point by enabling PIM-Sparse Mode on a Loopback interface and
assigning a low IP address.
To display PIM neighbors for each interface, use the show ip pim neighbor command from EXEC Privilege mode.

Configuring S,G Expiry Timers
By default, S, G entries expire in 210 seconds. You can configure a global expiry time (for all [S,G] entries) or configure an expiry
time for a particular entry.
If you configure both, the ACL supersedes the global configuration for the specified entries.
When you create, delete, or update an expiry time, the changes are applied when the keep alive timer refreshes.
To configure a global expiry time or to configure the expiry time for a particular (S,G) entry, use the following commands.
1. Enable global expiry timer for S, G entries.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip pim sparse-mode sg-expiry-timer seconds
The range is from 211 to 86,400 seconds.
The default is 210.
2. Create an extended ACL.
