Multicast PIM Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software
This chapter describes the commands used to configure and monitor Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM).
Note
For PIM-related commands, IPv4 is the default IP address family; however, many commands, including clear pim and show pim , include both an IPv4 and IPv6 prefix. To run commands related to IPv6, you must use the IPv6 prefix. You do not need to specify the IPv4 prefix to run IPv4-related commands.
For detailed information about multicast routing concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, refer to Cisco IOS XR Multicast Configuration Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.

accept-register
To configure a rendezvous point (RP) router to filter Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) register messages, use the accept-register command in PIM configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The accept-register command prevents unauthorized sources from registering with the rendezvous point. If an unauthorized source sends a register message to the rendezvous point, the rendezvous point immediately sends back a register-stop message.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to restrict the rendezvous point. Sources in the Source Specific Multicast (SSM) range of addresses are not allowed to register with the rendezvous point. These statements need to be configured only on the rendezvous point.
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router pim RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# accept-register no-ssm-range RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# exit RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# ipv4 access-list no-ssm-range RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# deny ipv4 any 232.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# permit anyauto-rp candidate-rp
To configure a router as a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) rendezvous point (RP) candidate that sends messages to the well-known CISCO-RP-ANNOUNCE multicast group (224.0.1.39), use the auto-rp candidate-rp command in PIM configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

scope ttl-value
Specifies a time-to-live (TTL) value (in router hops) that limits the scope of the auto-rendezvous point (Auto-RP) announce messages that are sent out of that interface. Range is 1 to 255.
group-list access-list-name
(Optional) Specifies an access list that describes the group ranges for which this router is the rendezvous point.
interval seconds
(Optional) Specifies the time between rendezvous point announcements. Range is 1 to 600.
Command Default
A router is not configured as a PIM rendezvous point candidate by default.
seconds : 60
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The auto-rp candidate-rp command is used by the rendezvous point for a multicast group range. The router sends an Auto-RP announcement message to the well-known group CISCO-RP-ANNOUNCE (224.0.1.39). This message announces the router as a candidate rendezvous point for the groups in the range described by the access list.
When the interval keyword is specified, the interval between Auto-RP announcements is set to number of seconds with the total hold time of the announcements automatically set to three times the interval time. The recommended interval time range is from 1 to 180 seconds.
The hold time of the Auto-RP announcement is the time for which the announcement is valid. After the designated hold time, the announcement expires and the entry is purged from the mapping cache until there is another announcement.
If the optional group-list keyword is omitted, the group range advertised is 224.0.0.0/4. This range corresponds to all IP multicast group addresses, which indicates that the router is willing to serve as the rendezvous point for all groups.
A router may be configured to serve as a candidate rendezvous point for more than one group range by a carefully crafted access list in the router configuration.
Note
The auto-rp candidate-rp command is available for IPv4 address prefixes only.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to send rendezvous point announcements from all PIM-enabled interfaces for a maximum of 31 hops. The IP address by which the router wants to be identified as a rendezvous point is the IP address associated with GigabitEthernet interface 0/1/0/1. Access list 5 designates the groups that this router serves as the rendezvous point.
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# ipv4 access-list 5 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# permit ipv4 any 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# exit RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router pim RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# auto-rp candidate-rp GigE 0/1/0/1 scope 31 group-list 5 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# endThe router identified in the following example advertises itself as the candidate rendezvous point and is associated with loopback interface 0 for the group ranges 239.254.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 and 224.0.0.0 to 231.255.255.255:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# ipv4 access-list 10 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# permit ipv4 any 239.254.0.0 0.0.255.255 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# exit RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router pim RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# auto-rp candidate-rp loopback 0 scope 16 group-list 10 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# endauto-rp listen disable
To prevent a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) process from learning about IP multicast traffic for the auto-rendezvous point (Auto-RP) group 224.0.1.40 that is flooded across interfaces, use the auto-rp listen disable command in PIM configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Note
The auto-rp listen disable command is available for IPv4 address prefixes only.
Task ID
auto-rp mapping-agent
To configure the router to be a rendezvous point (RP) mapping agent on a specified interface, use the auto-rp mapping-agent command in PIM configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
auto-rp mapping-agent type interface-path-id scope ttl-value [ interval seconds ]

scope ttl-value
Specifies time-to-live (TTL) value in router hops that limits the scope of the rendezvous point discovery messages that are sent from that interface. Range is 1 to 255.
interval seconds
(Optional) Specifies the time, in seconds, between discovery messages. Range is 1 to 600.
Command Default
A router is not configured as a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) rendezvous point mapping agent by default.
seconds : 60
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
After the router is configured as a rendezvous point mapping agent and determines the rendezvous point-to-group mappings through the CISCO-RP-ANNOUNCE (224.0.1.39) group, the router sends the mappings in an auto-rendezvous point (Auto-RP) discovery message to the well-known group CISCO-RP-DISCOVERY (224.0.1.40). A PIM designated router (DR) listens to this well-known group to determine which rendezvous point to use.
More than one rendezvous point mapping agent can be configured in a network sending redundant information, for a slight increase in reliability.
The TTL value is used to limit the range, or scope, of a multicast transmission. Therefore, use this value only on border routers.
The mapping packets are always sourced out of the default interface but have the source IP address as the address of the type and instance arguments. Packets have a TTL of 1 to 255 and are sent out each configured interval. When not specified, the default is 60 seconds.
Note
The auto-rp mapping-agent command is available for IPv4 address prefixes only.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to limit Auto-RP discovery messages to 20 hops:
RP/0/0/CPU0:routerr(config)# router pim RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# auto-rp mapping-agent pos 0/0/0/1 scope 20bsr-border
To stop the forwarding of bootstrap router (BSR) messages on a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) router interface, use the bsr-border command in PIM interface configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
When you configure the bsr-border command, no PIM Version 2 BSR messages are sent or received through the interface. You should configure an interface bordering another PIM domain with this command to avoid BSR messages from being exchanged between the two domains. BSR messages should not be exchanged between different domains, because routers in one domain may elect rendezvous points (RPs) in the other domain, resulting in protocol malfunction or loss of isolation between the domains.
Note
This command is used for the purpose of setting up a PIM domain BSR message border, and not for multicast boundaries.
Task ID
bsr candidate-bsr
To configure the router to announce its candidacy as a bootstrap router (BSR), use the bsr candidate-bsr command in PIM configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The bsr candidate-bsr command causes the router to send bootstrap messages to all its Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) neighbors, with the address of the designated interface as the BSR address. Each neighbor compares the BSR address with the address it had from previous bootstrap messages (not necessarily received on the same interface). If the current address is the same or higher address, the PIM neighbor caches the current address and forwards the bootstrap message. Otherwise, the bootstrap message is dropped.
This router continues to be the BSR until it receives a bootstrap message from another candidate BSR saying that it has a higher priority (or if the same priority, a higher IP address).
Note
Use the bsr candidate-bsr command only in backbone routers with good connectivity to all parts of the PIM domain. A subrouter that relies on an on-demand dial-up link to connect to the rest of the PIM domain is not a good candidate BSR.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the router as a candidate BSR with a hash mask length of 30:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router pim RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# bsr candidate-bsr 10.0.0.1 hash-mask-len 30Related Commands
Command
Description
Clears bootstrap router (BSR) entries from the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) rendezvous point (RP) group mapping cache.
Displays Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) candidate rendezvous point (RP) information for the bootstrap router (BSR).
Displays Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) candidate election information for the bootstrap router (BSR).
Displays Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) rendezvous point (RP) cache information for the bootstrap router (BSR).
bsr candidate-rp
To configure the router to advertise itself as a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Version 2 candidate rendezvous point (RP) to the bootstrap router (BSR), use the bsr candidate-rp command in PIM configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
bsr candidate-rp ip-address [ group-list access-list ] [ interval seconds ] [ priority value ]
no bsr candidate-rp ip-address
Syntax Description
ip-address
IP address of the router that is advertised as a candidate rendezvous point address.
group-list access-list
(Optional) Specifies the IP access list number or name that defines the group prefixes that are advertised in association with the rendezvous point address. The access list name cannot contain a space or quotation mark, and must begin with an alphabetic character to avoid confusion with numbered access lists.
interval seconds
(Optional) Specifies the candidate rendezvous point advertisement interval in seconds. Range is 30 to 600.
priority value
(Optional) Indicates the rendezvous point priority value. Range is 1 to 255.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The bsr candidate-rp command causes the router to send a PIM Version 2 message advertising itself as a candidate rendezvous point to the BSR. The addresses allowed by the access list, together with the router identified by the IP address, constitute the rendezvous point and its range of addresses for which it is responsible.
Note
Use the bsr candidate-rp command only in backbone routers that have good connectivity to all parts of the PIM domain. That is, a stub router that relies on an on-demand dial-up link to connect to the rest of the PIM domain is not a good candidate rendezvous point.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the router to advertise itself as a candidate rendezvous point to the BSR in its PIM domain. Access list number 4 specifies the group prefix associated with the candidate rendezvous point address 172.16.0.0. This rendezvous point is responsible for the groups with the prefix 239.
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router pim RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# bsr candidate-rp 172.16.0.0 group-list 4 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# exit RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# ipv4 access-list 4 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# permit ipv4 any 239.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# endclear pim autorp
To clear auto-rendezvous point (Auto-RP) entries from the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) rendezvous point (RP) group mapping cache, use the clear pim autorp command in EXEC mode.
Syntax Description

Release
Modification
Release 3.2
This command was introduced.
Release 3.4.0
The ipv4 and ipv6 keywords were added.
Release 3.5.0
The vrf vrf-name keyword and argument were added.
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The clear pim topology command clears existing PIM routes from the PIM topology table. Information obtained from the MRIB table, such as Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) local membership, is retained. If a multicast group is specified, only those group entries are cleared.
When the command is used with no arguments, all group entries located in the PIM topology table are cleared of PIM protocol information.
If the reset keyword is specified, all information from the topology table is cleared and the MRIB connections are automatically reset. This form of the command can be used to synchronize state between the PIM topology table and the MRIB database. The reset keyword should be strictly reserved to force synchronized PIM and MRIB entries when communication between the two components is malfunctioning.
If you do not explicitly specify a particular VRF, the default VRF is used.
Task ID
dr-priority
To configure the designated router (DR) priority on a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) router, use the dr-priority command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
Command Default
If this command is not specified in interface configuration mode, the interface adopts the DR priority value specified in PIM configuration mode.
If this command is not specified in PIM configuration mode, the DR priority value is 1.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
If all the routers on the LAN support the DR priority option in the PIM Version 2 (PIMv2) hello message that they send, you can force the DR election by use of the dr-priority command so that a specific router on the subnet is elected as DR. The router with the highest DR priority becomes the DR.
When PIMv2 routers receive a hello message without the DR priority option (or when the message has priority of 0), the receiver knows that the sender of the hello message does not support DR priority and that DR election on the LAN segment should be based on IP address alone.
Note
If this command is configured in PIM configuration mode, parameters are inherited by all new and existing interfaces. You can override these parameters on individual interfaces from PIM interface configuration mode.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the router to use DR priority 4 for Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) interface 0/1/0/0, but other interfaces will inherit DR priority 2:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router pim RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# dr-priority 2 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-default-ipv4)# interface pos 0/1/0/0 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-pim-ipv4-if)# dr-priority 4embedded-rp
To configure the static address for the embedded rendezvous point (RP) on a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) router, use the embedded-rp command in PIM configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
rp-address
Rendezvous point IPv6 address in X:X::X format.
access-list
Number or name of an IPv6 address access list that specifies embedded group ranges.
disable
Disables embedded RP processing.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
When the embedded rendezvous point is enabled (which is the default behavior of the PIM router), you should configure a static address for the rendezvous point for the embedded rendezvous point ranges. Additional configuration is not required on other IPv6 PIM routers, because those routers discover the rendezvous point address from the IPv6 group address.
Note
The embedded-rp command is available only for IPv6 address prefixes.
Task ID

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Routers configured for IP multicast send PIM hello messages to establish PIM neighbor adjacencies and to determine which router is the designated router (DR) for each LAN segment (subnet).
To establish these adjacencies, at every hello period, a PIM multicast router multicasts a PIM router-query message to the All-PIM-Routers (224.0.0.13) multicast address on each of its multicast-enabled interfaces.
PIM hello messages contain a hold-time value that tells the receiver when the neighbor adjacency associated with the sender should expire if no further PIM hello messages are received. Typically the value of the hold-time field is 3.5 times the interval time value, or 120 seconds if the interval time is 30 seconds.
Use the show pim neighbor command to display PIM neighbor adjacencies and elected DRs.
Note
If you configure the hello-interval command in PIM configuration mode, parameters are inherited by all new and existing interfaces. You can override these parameters on individual interfaces from PIM interface configuration mode.

MoFRR is a mechanism in which two copies of the same multicast stream flow through disjoint paths in the network. At the point in the network (usually the PE closer to the receivers) where the two streams merge, one of the streams is accepted and forwarded on the downstream links, while the other stream is discarded. .
MoFRR is triggered when a failure is detected on the primary path. MoFRR transmits a multicast join message to PIM from a receiver towards a source on a primary path and then transmits a secondary multicast join message from the receiver towards the source on a backup path. Data packets are received from the primary and secondary paths, with the redundant packets being discarded at topology merge points based on reverse-path forwarding (RPF) checks.
Note
Triggered joins are sent when the primary or the secondary RPF information changes. No RPF change prunes are sent for MoFRR streams.
When a failure is detected on the primary path, the repair occurs by changing the interface on which packets are accepted to the secondary interface. Because the repair is local, it is fast and greatly improves convergence times should link or node failures occur on the primary path.
MoFRR switchover occurs at the software level in PIM, based on RIB convergence. Convergence-based switchovers can occur at a frequency of approximately 200 ms for an estimated 400 streams.
Note
MoFRR supports all ECMP hashing algorithms except the source-only hash algorithm. The secondary path is chosen by running the same algorithm on the set of paths that does not include the primary path.

All routers within a common PIM sparse mode (PIM-SM) require the knowledge of the well-known PIM rendezvous point address. The address is learned through Auto-RP, BSR, or is statically configured using this command.
If the optional group-access-list-number argument is not specified, the rendezvous point for the group is applied to the entire IP multicast group range (224.0.0.0/4).
You can configure a single rendezvous point to serve more than one group. The group range specified in the access list determines the PIM rendezvous point group mapping. If no access list is specified, the rendezvous point default maps to 224/4.
If the rendezvous point for a group is learned through a dynamic mechanism, such as Auto-RP, this command might not be required. If there is a conflict between the rendezvous point configured with this command and one learned by Auto-RP, the Auto-RP information is used unless the override keyword is specified.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The show auto-rp mapping-agent command shows all the system-wide candidate rendezvous point (RP) announcements that originate from the same or different multicast groups.
Information that is displayed shows that the mapping agent selects one rendezvous point for the group. If two rendezvous point announcements are bound for the same group, the mapping agent selects the one with the higher IP address as the “winner” and sends that out to the CISCO-RP-DISCOVERY group. All multicast routers join this group.
Task ID
Examples
The following sample output shows that the mapping agent has received two candidate rendezvous point announcements for the same group range (224/4) and has selected the one with the higher IP address (winner indicated by a *):

The show pim join-prune statistics command displays the average PIM join and prune groups for the most recent packets (in increments of 1000/10000/50000) that either were sent out or received from each PIM interface. If fewer than 1000/10000/50000 join and prune group messages are received since PIM was started or the statistics were cleared, the join-prune aggregation shown in the command display is zero (0).
Because each PIM join and prune packet can contain multiple groups, this command can provide a snapshot view of the average pace based on the number of join and prune packets, and on the consideration of the aggregation factor of each join and prune packet.

Use the PIM routing topology table to display various entries for a given group, (*, G), (S, G), and
(S, G) RPT, each with its own interface list.
PIM communicates the contents of these entries through the Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB), which is an intermediary for communication between multicast routing protocols, such as PIM; local membership protocols, such as Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP); and the multicast forwarding engine of the system.
The MRIB shows on which interface the data packet should be accepted and on which interfaces the data packet should be forwarded, for a given (S, G) entry. Additionally, the Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) table is used during forwarding to decide on per-packet forwarding actions.
When multicast-only fast reroute (MoFRR) feature is enabled, the show pim topology command shows the SGs that are configured for MoFRR. For information about the MoFRR primary and secondary paths, see the description of the command show pim topology detail.
Note
For forwarding information, use the show mfib route and show mrib route commands.

Table 21 show pim topology Field Descriptions Field
Description
(11.0.0.1,239.9.9.9)SPT
Entry state. Source address, group address, and tree flag (shortest path tree or rendezvous point tree) for the route entry. Note that the tree flag may be missing from the entry.
SM
Entry protocol. PIM protocol mode in which the entry operates: sparse mode (SM), source specific multicast (SSM), bidirectional (BD), or dense-mode (DM).
Up: 00:00:13
Entry uptime. Time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) this entry has existed in the topology table.
RP: 11.0.0.1*
Entry information. Additional information about the route entry. If route entry is a sparse mode or bidirectional PIM route, the RP address is given.
JP: Null(never)
Entry join/prune state. Indicates if and when a join or prune message is sent to the RPF neighbor for the route.
MoFRR RIB, Flags:
Indicates whether the (S,G) route is a RIB-based MoFRR route.
MoFRR, Flags:
Indicates whether the (S,G) route is a flow-based MoFRR route. By default, a flow-based MoFRR route will be a RIB-based MoFRR route but not in the reverse way.
RPF Table
IPv4 Unicast default.
RPF Secondary
Secondary path interface
Entry Information Flags KAT - Keep Alive Timer
The keepalive timer tracks whether traffic is flowing for the (S, G) route on which it is set. A route does not time out while the KAT is running. The KAT runs for 3.5 minutes, and the route goes into KAT probing mode for as long as 65 seconds. The route is deleted if no traffic is seen during the probing interval, and there is no longer any reason to keep the route—for example, registers and (S, G) joins.
AA - Assume Alive
Flag that indicates that the route was alive, but recent confirmation of traffic flow was not received.
PA - Probe Alive
Flag that indicates that the route is probing the data plane to determine if traffic is still flowing for this route before it is timed out.
RA - Really Alive
Flag that indicates that the source is confirmed to be sending traffic for the route.
LH - Last Hop
Flag that indicates that the entry is the last-hop router for the entry. If (S, G) routes inherit the LH olist from an (*, G) route, the route entry LH flag appears only on the (*, G) route.
IA - Inherit Alive
Flag that indicates a source VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) route with the KAT active.
DSS - Don’t Signal Sources
Flag that may be set on the last-hop (*, G) entries that indicates that new matching sources should not be signaled from the forwarding plane.
DCC - Don’t Check Connected
Flag that is set when the KAT probes, which indicates that the connected check for new sources should be omitted in the forwarding plane.
RR - Register Received
Flag that indicates that the RP has received and answered PIM register messages for this (S, G) route.
SR - Sending Registers
Flag that indicates that the first-hop DR has begun sending registers for this (S, G) route, but has not yet received a Register-Stop message.
E - MSDP External
Flag that is set on those entries that have sources, learned through Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP), from another RP.
EX - Extranet
Flag that indicates an extranet route.
ME - MDT Encap
Flag that indicates a core encapsulation route for a multicast distribution tree (MDT).
MD - MDT Decap
Flag that indicates a core decapsulation route for an MDT.
MT - Crossed Data MDT threshold
Flag that indicates that traffic on this route passed a threshold for the data MDT.
MA - Data MDT group assigned
Flag that indicates a core encapsulation route for the data MDT.
POS0/2/0/0
Interface name. Name of an interface in the interface list of the entry.
03:54:23
Interface uptime. Time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) this interface has existed in the entry.
off
Interface forwarding status. Outgoing forwarding status of the interface for the entry is “fwd” or “off”.
Interface Information Flags LI - Local Interest
Flag that indicates that there are local receivers for this entry on this interface, as reported by Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP).
LD - Local Disinterest
Flag that indicates that there is explicit disinterest for this entry on this interface, as reported by IGMP exclude mode reports.
II - Internal Interest
Flag that indicates that the host stack of the router has internal receivers for this entry.
ID - Internal Disinterest
Flag that indicates that the host stack of the router has explicit internal disinterest for this entry.
LH - Last Hop
Flag that indicates that this interface has directly connected receivers and this router serves as a last hop for the entry. If the (S, G) outgoing interface list is inherited from a (*, G) route, the LH flag is set on the (*, G) outgoing LH interface.
AS - Assert
Flag that indicates that a PIM assert message was seen on this interface and the active PIM assert state exists.
AB - Administrative Boundary
Flag that indicates that forwarding on this interface is blocked by a configured administrative boundary for this entry’s group range.
EX - Extranet
Flag that indicates an interface that is imported from another VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance and that is participating in the extranet traffic flow.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Use the PIM topology table to display various entries for a given group, (*, G), (S, G), and (S, G)RPT, each with its own interface list.
PIM communicates the contents of these entries through the Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB), which is an intermediary for communication between multicast routing protocols, such as PIM; local membership protocols, such as Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP); and the multicast forwarding engine of the system.
The MRIB shows on which interface the data packet should be accepted and on which interfaces the data packet should be forwarded, for a given (S, G) entry. Additionally, the Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) table is used during forwarding to decide on per-packet forwarding actions.
Note
For forwarding information, use the show mfib route and show mrib route commands.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
PIM register packets are sent through the virtual encapsulation tunnel interface from the source’s first-hop designated router (DR) router to the rendezvous point (RP). On the RP, a virtual decapsulation tunnel is used to represent the receiving interface of the PIM register packets. This command displays tunnel information for both types of interfaces.
Register tunnels are the encapsulated (in PIM register messages) multicast packets from a source that is sent to the RP for distribution through the shared tree. Registering applies only to sparse mode (SM), not to Source Specific Multicast (SSM)

spt-threshold infinity
To change the behavior of the last-hop router to always use the shared tree and never perform a shortest-path tree (SPT) switchover, use the spt-threshold infinity command in PIM configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
Command Default
The last-hop Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) router switches to the shortest-path source tree by default.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The spt-threshold infinity command causes the last-hop PIM router to always use the shared tree instead of switching to the shortest-path source tree.
If the group-list keyword is not used, this command applies to all multicast groups.
Task ID
ssm
To define the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)-Source Specific Multicast (SSM) range of IP multicast addresses, use the ssm command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
allow-override
(Optional) Allows SSM ranges to be overridden by more specific ranges.
disable
(Optional) Disables SSM group ranges.
range access-list
(Optional) Specifies an access list describing group ranges for this router when operating in PIM SSM mode.

Modification
Release 3.2
This command was introduced.
Release 3.3.0
The default-range keyword was deleted.
Release 3.4.0
The allow-override keyword was added.
Release 3.5.0
This command was introduced in multicast VPN configuration mode.
The access-list argument was changed from optional to required.
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The ssm command performs source filtering, which is the ability of a router to report interest in receiving packets from specific source addresses (or from all but the specific source addresses) to an IP multicast address. Unlike PIM-sparse mode (SM) that uses a rendezvous point (RP) and shared trees, PIM-SSM uses information on source addresses for a multicast group provided by receivers through the local membership protocol Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and is used to directly build source-specific trees.
IGMP Version 3 must be enabled on routers that want to control the sources they receive through the network.
When multicast routing is enabled, the default is PIM-SSM enabled on the default SSM range, 232/8. SSM may be disabled with the disable form of the command, or any ranges may be specified in an access list with the range form. All forms of this command are mutually exclusive. If an access list is specified, the default SSM range is not used unless specified in the access list.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to configure SSM service for the IP address range defined by access list 4, using the ssm command:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# ipv4 access-list 4 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-ipv4-acl)# permit ipv4 any 224.2.151.141 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# multicast-routing RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-mcast)# ssm range 4
