Describes the list maintained on every leaf switch for PIM/PIM6 operations including striping and other purposes.


An active border leaf switch list is a PIM/PIM6 maintained list that

  • exists on every leaf switch for striping and other purposes

  • is derived from active PIM/PIM6 neighbor relations on border leaf switches themselves, and

  • is generated by PIM/PIM6 using monitored PIM/PIM6 Hello messages on the fabric interface for non-border leaf switches.

Implementation details

The source IP on the hello messages is the loopback IPv4/IPv6 assigned to each border leaf switch.
