In an enterprise network running PIM sparse-mode, an engineer notices that multicast traffic is switched from the shared tree (*,G) to the source-specific tree (S,G) prematurely, causing micro-bursts on core links. Which command disables this automatic switchover behavior on a Junos router?
Setting the SPT threshold to infinity prevents the last-hop router from switching to the source-specific tree, keeping it on the shared tree.
Why this answer
By default, last-hop routers switch from (*,G) to (S,G) upon receiving the first packet from source S. To prevent this, the 'spt-threshold infinity' command is configured under [edit protocols pim].
