tree. Note that when the SPT threshold is not set by this command, the PIM leaf
router will join the shortest path tree immediately after receiving the first
packet from a new source.
Enable the SPT threshold to force the router to use the shared tree for all
multicast groups, or just for the specified multicast groups.
Group Address
– An IPv6 multicast group address. If a group address is not
specified, the shared tree is used for all multicast groups.
Group Prefix Length
– An IPv6 network prefix length for a multicast group.
(Range: 8-128)

Configuring a PIM6
BSR Candidate
Use the Routing Protocol > PIM6 > PIM6-SM (BSR Candidate) page to configure the
switch as a Bootstrap Router (BSR) candidate.
Command Usage
When this router is configured as a BSR candidate, it starts sending bootstrap
messages to all of its PIM6-SM neighbors. The primary IP address of the
designated VLAN is sent as the candidates BSR address. Each neighbor
receiving the bootstrap message compares the BSR address with the address
from previous messages. If the current address is the same or a higher address,
