|
NSF Status |
The non-stop forwarding status, which can be Normal or Non-Stop Forwarding Activated. Note The Non-Stop Forwarding Activated status implies that recovery of an IGMP failure is in progress. |
Interfaces Tab |
Interface Name |
The name or ID of the interface on which PIM is enabled. |
Associated Entity |
The link to the associated entity, which when clicked will highlight the associated Default routing entity record under the Routing Entity node. |
IP Address |
The IP address of the interface. |
VRF |
The name of the VRF associated to the interface. This is a link, which when clicked will take you to the relevant record under the VRF node. |
PIM Status |
Indicates whether the PIM is enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF) on the interface. |
Hello Interval |
The frequency at which PIM hello messages are sent over the PIM enabled interfaces. These messages are sent at regular intervals by routers on all the PIM enabled interfaces. The router sends these messages to advertise their existence as a PIM router on the subnet. |
Designated Router |
The IP address of the designated router on the LAN. Note Serial 5.0 do not have a designated router. Hence, the IP address is displayed as 0.0.0.0. If the interface on the router is the designated router, then the words “This system” is displayed. If not, then the IP address of the external neighbor is displayed. |
Designated Router Priority |
The priority of the designated router, which is advertised by the neighbor in the hello messages. This value in this field will range from 0 to 4294967295. |
Rendezvous Points Tab |
RP Address |
The address of the interface serving as a rendezvous point for the group range or list. A Rendezvous Point (RP) is a router in a multicast network domain that acts as a shared root for a multicast shared tree. Any number of routers can be configured to work as RPs and they can be configured to cover different group ranges. For correct operation, every multicast router within a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) domain must be able to map a particular multicast group address to the same RP. |
Mode |
The PIM protocol mode for which the router is advertised as a rendezvous point. The mode can be PIM-SM or bidirectional PIM. |
Scope |
The number of candidate announcement messages sent out from the rendezvous point. |
Priority |
The value of the candidate rendezvous point priority. |
Uptime |
The amount of time from when the rendezvous point is available. |
Group List |
The IP access list number or name of the group prefixes that are advertised in association with the rendezvous point address. |
RP Type |
The type of rendezvous point, which can be BSR or Auto RP. Note The Bootstrap Router (BSR) is a mechanism for a router to learn RP information. It ensures that all routers in the PIM domain have the same RP cache as the BSR. Auto-RP is a mechanism to automate distribution of RP information in a multicast network. The Auto-RP mechanism operates using two basic components, the candidate RPs and the RP mapping agents. |
Topology Tab |
Source Address |
The IP address of the source of the multicast entry. In case the IP address is not available, a “*” or 0.0.0.0 is displayed here. |
Group Address |
The multicast group address or prefix for which the entry is associated with. |
PIM Mode |
The PIM mode of the topology entry, which can be Sparse, Source Specific, Dense, or Bidirectional. |
Tree Type |
The MDT tree type for the route entry, which can be Shortest Path Tree or Rendezvous Point Tree. |
Uptime |
The amount of time from which the topology is available. This value is displayed in terms of seconds. |
RP Address |
The Rendezvous Point address. This value is displayed only if the PIM Mode is SM or Bidirectional. |
Join Prune Status |
Indicates whether a join or prune message is sent to the RPF neighbor for the route. |
RPF |
The IP address and interface ID, along with the MoFFR information, of the Reverse Path Forwarding for the topology. |
Flags |
The comma separated flag information for this topology. |
Neighbors Tab |
Neighbor IP Address |
The IP address of the neighbor. |
Interface Name |
The interface name on which the neighbor can be reached. |
Associated Entity |
The link to the associated entity, which when clicked will highlight the associated Default routing entity record under the Routing Entity node. |
VRF |
The name of the VRF. |
Flags |
The flags that provide information about various states of the neighbor. |
Designated Router Priority |
The priority of the PIM interface for DR election. The default value is 1. |
UpTime |
The amount of time from which the interface is available. |
