nv set vrf <vrf-id> router pim address-family ipv4 spt-switchover

Configures PIM SPT switchover for the specified VRF. When the LHR receives the first multicast packet, it sends a PIM (S,G) join towards the FHR to forward traffic through the network. This builds the SPT, or the tree that is the shortest path to the source. When the traffic arrives over the SPT, a PIM (S,G) RPT prune goes up the shared tree towards the RP. This removes multicast traffic from the shared tree; multicast data only goes over the SPT.

You can configure SPT switchover per group (SPT infinity), which allows for some groups to never switch to a shortest path tree. The LHR now sends both (*,G) joins and (S,G) RPT prune messages towards the RP.

nv set vrf <vrf-id> router pim address-family ipv4 spt-switchover action
