To configure a global expiry time, use the following command.
Enable global expiry timer for S, G entries.
CONFIGURATION mode
{ip | ipv6} pim sparse-mode sg-expiry-timer seconds
The range is from 211 to 86,400 seconds.
The default is 210.
NOTE: The global expiry time for all [S, G] entries can vary from 360 to 420 seconds.
To display the expiry time configuration, use the show running-configuration pim command from EXEC Privilege
mode.
DellEMC#show running-configuration pim
!
ipv6 pim sparse-mode
ipv6 pim dr-priority 10
ipv6 pim rp-address 52::40:4:4 group-address ff0e::/64
ipv6 pim sparse-mode sg-expiry-timer 211

Configuring a Static Rendezvous Point
The rendezvous point (RP) is a PIM-enabled interface on a router that acts as the root a group-specific tree; every group must
have an RP.
Identify an RP by the IP address of a PIM-enabled or Loopback interface.
{ip | ipv6} pim rp-address address group-address group-address mask [override]
Following is an example of IPv4 configuration:
DellEMC#show running-configuration interface loop0
!
interface Loopback 0
ip address 1.1.1.1/32
ip pim sparse-mode
no shutdown
DellEMC#show running-configuration pim
!
ip pim rp-address 1.1.1.1 group-address 224.0.0.0/4
Following is an example of IPv6 configuration:
DellEMC#show running-configuration interface loop0
!
interface Loopback 0
ipv6 address 2111:dddd:0eee::22/64
ipv6 pim sparse-mode
no shutdown
DellEMC#show running-configuration pim
!
ipv6 pim rp-address 2111:dddd:0eee::22/64 group-address 2111:dddd:0eee::22/128
Overriding Bootstrap Router Updates
PIM-SM routers must know the address of the RP for each group for which they have (*,G) entry.
This address is obtained automatically through the bootstrap router (BSR) mechanism or a static RP configuration.
Use the following command if you have configured a static RP for a group. If you do not use the override option with the
following command, the RPs advertised in the BSR updates take precedence over any statically configured RPs.
Use the override option to use statically configured RP instead of the longest prefix match of the configured group
address associated with a dynamic RP.
