  `
- Use the no version to disable the display.
- See debug ip pim.

undebug ip pim

show ip pim sparse-mode unicast-route

- Use to display the unicast routes that PIM sparse mode is using.
- Field descriptions
  - Route—IP address and network mask for the unicast route
  - RpfNbr—RPF neighbor
  - Iif—Incoming interface for the unicast route
  - Pref—Preference value for the unicast route
  - Metric—Value of metric for the unicast route (type of metric varies with the unicast protocol)
  - Count of entries—Number of unicast routes that PIM sparse mode is using
- Example

      host1:2#show ip pim sparse-mode unicast-route

show ip pim spt-threshold

- Use to display the threshold for switching to the shortest path tree at a PIM designated router.
- Field descriptions
  - Access List Name—Name of the IP access list that specifies the groups to which the threshold applies
  - SptThreshold (in kbps)—Value at which PIM sparse mode switches from a shared tree to an SPT. A value of infinity indicates that PIM sparse mode never switches to an SPT.
- Example

      host1:2#show ip pim spt-threshold
      Access List Name                  SptThreshold(in kbps)
      -------------------------------------------------------
