## Specify the PIM RP Threshold That Triggers Source-Specific Switching

You can specify the number of registered packets that must have been received for the RP to initiate switching to the source-specific SPT.

1. Specify how many packets will trigger the RP to switch to a source-specific SPT.

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

   This example switch the RP to the source-specific shortest path tree after 10 registered packets are received.

2. Ensure that the correct number of packets have been set.

       SEFOS# show ip pim thresholds
