## Specify the PIM RP Switch Period

You can specify the amount of time (in seconds) the RP monitors registered packets for switching to the source-specific SPT. The RP switching period must be configured to switch to SPT.

1. Configure the RP threshold, as well as the RP switch period.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# set ip pim enable
       SEFOS(config)# set ip pim rp-threshold 10
       SEFOS(config)# set ip pim rp-switchperiod 15
       SEFOS(config)# end

   This example switches the RP to the source-specific SPT after 10 registered packets are received and monitors the activity for 15 seconds.

2. View the switching period and group threshold values.

       SEFOS# show ip pim thresholds
