Preventing a PIM Router from Forming an Adjacency
To prevent a router from participating in PIM (for example, to configure stub multicast routing), use the following command.
• Prevent a router from participating in PIM.

ip pim neighbor-filter
Setting a Threshold for Switching to the SPT
The functionality to specify a threshold for switchover to the shortest path trees (SPTs) is available on the system. After a receiver
receives traffic from the RP, PM-SM switches to SPT to forward multicast traffic. Every multicast group has an RP and a unidirectional
shared tree (group-specific shared tree).
The SPT-Threshold is zero, which means that the last-hop designated router (DR) joins the shortest path tree (SPT) to the source upon
receiving the first multicast packet.
Initially, a single PIM-SM tree called a shared tree to distribute traffic. It is called shared because all traffic for the group, regardless of the
source, or the location of the source, must pass through the RP. The shared tree is unidirectional; that is, all multicast traffic flows only
from the RP to the receivers. Once a receiver receives traffic from the RP, PM-SM switches to SPT to forward multicast traffic, which
connects the receiver directly to the source.
