Verifying IPv4 Multicast Forwarding Using the MFIB

Last Updated: May 27, 2011

This module describes how to verify IPv4 multicast forwarding using the Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) in multicast networks operating in Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) sparse mode (PIM-SM), Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM) mode, or bidirectional PIM (bidir-PIM) mode.

  • Before performing the tasks in this module, you should be familiar with concepts described in the “ Multicast Forwarding Information Base Overview ” and “ IP Multicast Technology Overview ” modules.
  • The tasks in this module assume that IP multicast has been enabled and that PIM-SM, PIM-SSM, or bidir-PIM have been configured using the relevant tasks described in the “ Configuring Basic IP Multicast ” module.

Restrictions for Verifying IPv4 Multicast Forwarding Using the MFIB

  • You must be running a software image that supports the IPv4 MFIB infrastructure.

Information About Verifying IPv4 Multicast Forwarding Using the MFIB

Guidelines for Verifying IPv4 Multicast Forwarding Using the MFIB

When you verify IPv4 multicast forwarding using the MFIB in PIM network environments, a useful approach is to begin the verification process on the last-hop designated router (DR), and then continue the verification process on the routers along the SPT for PIM-SM or PIM-SSM (or on the shared tree for bidir-PIM) until the first-hop DR has been reached. The goal of the verification is to ensure that IP multicast traffic is being forwarded properly through an IP multicast network.

Common Commands for Verifying IPv4 Multicast Forwarding Using the MFIB

The table describes the common commands used to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB.

Table 1 Common IP Multicast Commands for Verifying Multicast Forwarding

Command

Description and Purpose

show ip igmp groups

Displays the multicast groups with receivers that are directly connected to the router and that were learned through Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP).

  • Use this command to confirm that the IGMP cache is being properly populated on the last-hop DR for the groups that receivers on the LAN have joined.

show ip mfib

Displays the multicast forwarding entries within the MFIB.

show ip mrib route

Displays entries in the Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB) table set by PIM, IGMP, or the MFIB.

show ip mroute

Displays the contents of the multicast routing (mroute) table.

show ip pim rp mapping

Displays all group-to-Rendezvous Point (RP) mappings of which the router is aware (either configured or learned from Auto-RP or bootstrap router [BSR]).

Note    The show ip pim rp mappingcommand does not apply to routers in a PIM-SSM network because PIM-SSM does not use rendezvous points (RPs).

Common Mroute Flags

When you verify multicast forwarding, it is helpful to start by looking at the control plane using the show ip mroute command. The table describes some of the common flags that you will observe in the output of the show ip mroute command when verifying multicast forwarding.

Table 2 Common Mroute Flags

Flag

Description

Mode Flags (All Routers)

S

Sparse—Entry is operating in sparse mode.

s

SSM—GroupEntry is operating in SSM mode.

B

B Bidir—GroupEntry is operating in bidirectional mode.

Last-Hop DR Flags

C

Connected—Indicates that an IGMPv2 report for the multicast group was received.

I

Received Source Specific Host Report—Indicates that an IGMPv3 report for the multicast group was received.

L

Local—Indicates that the router itself is a member of the multicast group. Examples are groups that are joined locally by the ip igmp join-group command, the ip sap listen commands, and the well-known Auto-RP groups, 224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40.

Note   

Locally joined groups are process switched.

J

Joined SPT—Indicates that the SPT threshold is set to 0 kbps and the next (S, G) packet received down the shared tree will trigger an (S, G) join in the direction of the source.

Note   

If the SPT threshold is set to infinity (using the ip pim spt-threshold infinity command), the J flag will not be set and all (S, G) packets will stay on the shared tree.

First-Hop DR Flags

F

Register Flag—Indicates that the router is a candidate to register for the multicast group.

(S, G) Forwarding Flag (Routers Along SPT)

T

SPT-bit Set—Indicates that packets have been received on the SPT.

Pruned Flag

P

Pruned—Entry is in a prune state. Multicast traffic for the multicast group will be dropped by the router.

Common MRIB Flags

When you verify multicast forwarding, it is helpful to confirm the communication between the control plane and the MFIB by examining the MRIB using the show ip mrib routecommand. The table describes some of the common flags that you will encounter in the output of the show ip mrib routecommand when verifying multicast forwarding.

Table 3 Common MRIB Flags

Flag

Description

Entry Flags

C

Connected--When set, this flag should also appear in the MFIB. For more information, see the C Flag description in the Common MFIB Flags section.

IA

Inherited Accept--When set, this flag should also appear in the MFIB. For more information, see the IA Flag description in the Common MFIB Flags section.

Interface Flags

A

Accept--When set, this flag should also appear in the MFIB. For more information, see the A Flag description in the Common MFIB Flags section.

F

Forward--When set, this flag should also appear in the MFIB. For more information, see the F Flag description in the Common MFIB Flags section.

NS

Negate Signal--When set, this flag should also appear in the MFIB. For more information about this flag, see the NS Flag description in Common MFIB Flags section.

Common MFIB Flags

When you verify multicast forwarding, it is important to examine the MFIB using the show ip mfib command to ensure that multicast traffic is being forwarded as expected. This section describes some of the common flags that you will observe in the output of the show ip mfib command when verifying multicast forwarding.

C Flag

The table describes the C flag.

Table 4 C Flag Description

Entry Flag

Description

C

Connected--Indicates that the MFIB will inform the multicast control plane when it receives traffic from a directly connected source. This flag is used for multicast groups running in PIM-SM or PIM-DM. For PIM-SM, it triggers PIM registration. For PIM-DM, it triggers dense mode flooding.

Note    PIM-SSM and bidir-PIM MFIB entries will not have the C flag set.

C Flag Sample Output

The following is sample output from the show ip mfib command. In this example, the output has been filtered to display only entries that have the C flag set.

RP# show ip mfib | inc Flags: C
 (*,224.0.0.0/4) Flags: C 
 (*,239.1.1.1) Flags: C 
 (*,224.0.1.39) Flags: C 
 (*,224.0.1.40) Flags: C
Well-Known Groups
(*, 224.0.0.0/4) Flags: C

This entry indicates that a directly connected check is being performed for the multicast range 224.0.0.0/4. The assumption is that this range is in the group-to-RP mapping cache. If it is not in the group-to-RP mapping cache, this entry will not appear. (*, G/m) parent entries, such as this entry, are used when a match for a (*, G) or (S, G) entry is not found. When traffic from a directly connected source matches a parent entry, the appropriate (*, G) and (S, G) entries in the MFIB, MRIB, and mroute tables will be created.

(*, 224.0.1.39) Flags: C

This entry indicates that a directly connected check is being performed for the Auto-RP Announce multicast group. When traffic from a directly connected source matches this entry and no corresponding (S, G) entry is found, the appropriate (S, G) entry will be created in the MFIB, MRIB, and mroute tables.


Note
(*, 224.0.1.39) appears in routers that are configured as an RP for Auto-RP using the ip pim send-rp-announce command. The C flag will always be set for this entry, whether the multicast group is running in PIM-DM or PIM-SM.
(*, 224.0.1.40) Flags: C

This entry indicates that a directly connected check is being performed for the Auto-RP Discovery multicast group. When traffic from a directly connected source matches this entry and no corresponding (S, G) entry is found, the appropriate (S, G) entry will be created in the MFIB, MRIB, and mroute table.


Note
(*, 224.0.1.40) appears on routers that are configured as a Mapping Agent using the ip pim send-rp-discovery command. The C flag will always be set for this entry, whether the multicast group is running in PIM-DM or PIM-SM.
Standard Multicast Group Entry
(*, 239.1.1.1) Flags: C

This entry indicates that a directly connected check is being performed for the multicast group 239.1.1.1.


Note
239.1.1.1 was arbitrarily chosen for this example to represent a standard multicast group entry in the show ip mfib output; in practice, the multicast group entries that will display in the output will depend upon your multicast network environment and application.

For this example, the (*, 224.0.0.0/4) entry will not be used because (*, 239.1.1.1) is more specific. When traffic from a directly connected source matches the (*, 239.1.1.1) entry and no (S, G) entry match is found, the MFIB will create the appropriate (S, G) entry then inform the multicast control plane to do the same in the mroute table. If the source is sending for the first time, the multicast control plane will then perform PIM registration or dense mode flooding based on the mode running for the multicast group.

K Flag

The table describes the K flag.

Table 5 K Flag Description

Entry Flag

Description

K

Keepalive--Set by PIM to indicate that the entry has been processed and should be stored in the MFIB.

K Flag Sample Output

The K flag is set to indicate that the control plane (PIM/IGMP/TRANS) owns this entry. When the K flag is set the entry stays in the MFIB until the control plane removes it.

If all flags on an entry (or interface) are removed, MFIB deletes the entry. Therefore, the K flag is used to ensure that MFIB keeps the entry in the absence of any other entry flags (or interfaces with flags on the entry).

The following is sample output from the show ip mfibcommand. In this example, the output has been filtered to display only entries that have the K flag set.


Note
The K flag is displayed only when the verbose keyword is also specified.

RP# show ip mfib verbose | inc Flags: K

ET - Data Rate Exceeds Threshold, K - Keepalive Forwarding Counts: Pkt Count/Pkts per second/Avg Pkt Size/Kbits per second
 (*,224.0.0.0/4) Flags: K
 (*,224.0.1.40) Flags: C K
 (*,232.0.0.0/8) Flags: K
 (*,239.0.0.0/8) Flags: K
 (*,239.1.1.1) Flags: IA K

IA Flag

The table describes the IA flag.

Table 6 IA Flag Description

Entry Flag

Description

IA

Inherit A Flag--(*, G) entries with the IA flag set indicate that the accept check be performed using its (*, G/mask) parent entry. In other words, the accept check is used to inherit interfaces with the A flag set in the (*, G/m) parent entry.

Note    The IA flag is used for bidir-PIM entries.

IA Flag Sample Output

In the following output from the show ip mfib and show ip pim rp-mappingcommands, the multicast group 239.195.1.1 is running bidir-PIM and there are two entries: (*, 239.195.1.1) and (*, 239.195.0.0/16). The (*, 239.195.1.1) entry indicates that there is an interested receiver in the network. The parent entry, (*, 239.195.0.0/16), indicates that there is a bidir-PIM group-to-RP mapping. The (*, 239.195.1.1) entry will be used for forwarding multicast traffic for the multicast group 239.195.1.1. The (*, 239.195.1.1) entry will also have the IA flag set, indicating it will inherit the following interfaces from its parent entry for performing accept checks: Serial interface 4/0, Serial interface 2/0, GigabitEthernet interface 0/0/0, and Null interface 0.


Note
The portions of output relevant to the IA flag are highlighted in bold.

The table describes the F flag.

Table 8 F Flag Description

I/O Flag

Description

F

Forward--Indicates that multicast data can be forwarded out this interface. For example, the interfaces that are in the outgoing interface list in the mroute table will have this flag set.

Note    The F flag in the MFIB is cleared if the MFIB forwarding has been disabled on the interface using the no ip mfib forwarding outputcommand.

F Flag Sample Output

Interfaces with the F flag set in the MFIB correspond to interfaces in the outgoing interface list for their respective mroute entries, as shown in the following output for the multicast group 239.1.1.1:


Note
The portions of sample output relevant to the F flag are highlighted in bold.

NS Flag

The table describes the NS flag.

Table 9 NS Flag Description

I/O Flag

Description

NS

Negate Signal--Indicates the MFIB will notify the multicast control plane when traffic is received on the specified interface, if the S flag is not set.

The NS flag is used for:

  • SPT switchover in PIM-SM--The NS flag is set on the (*, G) accept interface toward the RP to trigger SPT switchover.
  • Asserts--The NS flag is set on (*, G) and (S, G) forward interfaces to trigger PIM asserts.
  • Liveness checking for active sources in PIM-SM--The NS flag is set on the (S, G) accept interface toward the source to check for active sources.
  • Proxy-registers that enable a PIM-DM domain to register within a PIM-SM domain--The NS flag is set on the (S, G) accept interface where the ip pim dense-mode proxy-register command is configured.
Note    For PIM-SSM, the accept interface entries will not have the NS flag set. PIM-SSM neither performs SPT-switchover nor liveness checking.
Note    For PIM-SM, entries that have ip pim spt-threshold infinity configured globally will not have the NS flag set on their accept interfaces because SPT switchover will be disabled.

IC Flag

The table describes the IC flag.

Table 10 IC Flag Description

I/O Flag

Description

IC

Internal Copy--Indicates that a copy of the packet will be processed by the control plane.

The IC flag applies to:

  • Static IGMP joins--Indicates that the ip igmp join-group interface command is configured.
  • Auto-RP groups (224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40)--Indicates that the router is participating in Auto-RP.
  • Linkscope multicast groups (224.0.0.0/24)--Indicates that the router is listening to linkscope multicast groups, which include PIM hellos, PIM joins and prunes, IGMPv2 /v3 reports, and Interior Gateway Protocol hello packets (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [EIGRP], Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], and Routing Information Protocol version 2 [RIPv2]).

IC Flag Sample Output


Note
The configuration lines and portions of sample output relevant to the IC flag are highlighted in bold.
Static IGMP Join

The following example configures a static IGMP join for multicast group 239.1.1.1 under GigabitEthernet interface 0/0/0:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
 ip address 192.168.7.7 255.255.255.0
 ip pim sparse-mode
 ip igmp join-group 239.1.1.1

The following sample output from the show ip mfib command verifies that the IC flag is set for GigabitEthernet interface 0/0/0:

Router# show ip mfib 239.1.1.1
 (*,239.1.1.1) Flags: C
   SW Forwarding: 366/0/28/0, Other: 0/0/0

Note
The ip igmp static-group command will not set the IC flag.
Auto-RP Groups 224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40

The following output from the show ip igmp groupand show ip mfib command confirms that this router is both an RP and Mapping Agent and has the IC flag set to process switch Auto-RP multicast packets.


Note
All routers, including the RP, will join the multicast group 224.0.1.40. In addition to the multicast group 224.0.1.40, Mapping Agents will also join 224.0.1.39.

PIM Tunnel Interfaces

PIM tunnel interfaces are used by MFIB for the PIM-SM registration process. Two types of PIM tunnel interfaces are used by the MFIB:

  • A PIM encapsulation tunnel (PIM Encap Tunnel)
  • A PIM decapsulation tunnel (PIM Decap Tunnel)

The PIM Encap Tunnel is dynamically created whenever a group-to-RP mapping is learned (via Auto-RP, BSR, or static RP configuration). The PIM Encap Tunnel is used to encapsulate multicast packets sent by first-hop DRs that have directly connected sources.

Similar to the PIM Encap Tunnel, the PIM Decap Tunnel interface is dynamically created--with the exception that it is created on the RP only whenever a group-to-RP mapping is learned. The PIM Decap Tunnel interface is used by the RP to decapsulate PIM registers.


Note
PIM tunnels will not appear in the running configuration.

The following syslog message will appear when a PIM tunnel interface is created:

* %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Tunnel<interface_number>, changed state to up

When you verify IPv4 multicast forwarding using the MFIB in PIM network environments, a useful approach is to begin the verification process on the last-hop DR, and then continue the verification process on the routers along the SPT for PIM-SM or PIM-SSM (or on the shared tree for bidir-PIM) until the first-hop DR has been reached. The goal of the verification is to ensure that IP multicast traffic is being forwarded properly through an IP multicast network.

Before You Begin

The tasks in this module assume that IP multicast has been enabled and that PIM-SM, PIM-SSM, or bidir-PIM have been configured.


Note

You must be running a Cisco software image that supports the IPv4 MFIB infrastructure.

Examples  Verifying IPv4 Multicast Forwarding Using the MFIB for PIM-SM



    

      

This section contains the following examples for verifying multicast forwarding using the MFIB for PIM-SM networks:


      

Note

The examples in this section were created in a test environment to provide a conceptual view of the multicast environment. The IP addresses, interfaces, and other values are shown as examples only. They do not show real-world deployment values. 


    


  


PIM-SM Example Active Sources and Interested Receivers - SPT Switchover


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for PIM-SM in a network environment where there are active sources with interested receivers. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figure. 
		

 
		
Figure 1. PIM-SM Example Topology: Active Sources and Interested Receivers (SPT Switchover)

 
		   
		   
		

 
		
 In this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  All routers have the SPT switchover set to the default (ip 
				pim 
				spt-threshold 
				0). 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Because the SPT threshold is set to 0, all last-hop DRs with interested receivers will perform an SPT switchover when multicast traffic is received on the shared tree. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  During the PIM-SM registration process between the first-hop DR and the RP, a PIM tunnel is used. First-hop DRs will have a PIM Encap Tunnel and the RP will have both a PIM Encap and Decap Tunnel. After the PIM-SM registration process completes, PIM tunnels will not be used for multicast forwarding. For more information, see the 
			 Verifying PIM Tunnel Interfaces for PIM-SM section.

PIM-SM Example Active Sources and Interested Receivers - SPT Threshold Set to Infinity


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for PIM-SM in a network environment where there are active sources with interested receivers. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figure. 
		

 
		
Figure 2. PIM-SM Example Topology: Active Sources and Interested Receivers (SPT Threshold Set to Infinity)

 
		   
		   
		

 
		
 For this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  Last-hop DRs R4 and R7 have the SPT threshold set to infinity (configured with the 
			 ip 
				pim 
				spt-threshold 
				infinity command). 
		  
    • 
 
		

 
		

Note
 When the SPT threshold is set to infinity, multicast traffic is configured to stay on the shared tree. Last-hop DRs will not perform an SPT switchover. 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  During the PIM-SM registration process between the first-hop DR and the RP, a PIM tunnel is used. First-hop DRs will have a PIM Encap Tunnel and the RP will have both a PIM Encap and Decap Tunnel. After the PIM-SM registration process completes, PIM tunnels will not be used for multicast forwarding. For more information, see the 
			 Verifying PIM Tunnel Interfaces for PIM-SM section.

PIM-SM Example Source Traffic Only with No Receivers


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for PIM-SM in a network environment where sources are sending traffic without interested receivers. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figure. 
		

 
		
Figure 3. PIM-SM Example Topology: Source Traffic Only with No Receivers

 
		   
		   
		

 
		
 In this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  Source A and Source B are sending traffic for multicast group 239.1.1.1 to first-hop DRs R1 and R6, respectively. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  When R1 and R6 receive the source traffic, they will then check their group-to-RP mapping cache for multicast group 239.1.1.1 to determine the RP. In this case, R6 is the RP. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  After determining the RP, R1 and R6 will then create state and send PIM registers for (Source A, 239.1.1.1) and (Source B, 239.1.1.1) toward the RP. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Because there are no interested receivers, the RP will send a register stop to R1 and R6 (itself). 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  R1 and R6 are the only routers that will have (S, G) state for 239.1.1.1. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Routers that are not the RP or directly connected to an active source will not create state for (*, 239.1.1.1). 
		  
    •

 In this scenario, R2, R3, R4, and R7 have no interested receivers; therefore, they are not on the multicast forwarding path and will not have multicast state. The output for the

		  show

			 mrib 
			 route, and 
		  show

PIM-SM Example Interested Receivers with No Active Sources


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for PIM-SM in a network environment where there are interested receivers with no active sources. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figure. 
		

 
		
Figure 4. PIM-SM Example Topology: Interested Receivers with No Active Sources

 
		   
		   
		

 
		

 
		
 For this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  Last-hop DRs R4 and R7 also have the SPT threshold set to infinity (configured with the 
			 ip 
				pim 
				spt-threshold 
				infinity command). 
		  
    • 
 
		

 
		

Note
 When the SPT threshold is set to infinity, multicast traffic is configured to stay on the shared tree. Last-hop DRs will not perform an SPT switchover. 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  Receiver A and Receiver B are sending IGMP joins to R7 and R4, respectively, for multicast group 239.1.1.1. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  When R4 and R7 receive the IGMP joins, they will then check their group-to-RP mapping cache for multicast group 239.1.1.1 to determine the RP. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  After determining the RP, R4 and R7 will then create state and send PIM joins for (*, 239.1.1.1) toward the RP. 
		  
    • 
 
		

 
		

Note
 The unicast routing table is used to build the shared tree entry for (*, 239.1.1.1). Shared tree entries are always rooted at the RP. In this scenario, the shared tree from R4 to R6 is through R3 and R2 because R3’s best unicast route (determined by the underlying IGP) is R2. The shared tree for R7 is directly upstream to R6. 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  Routers that are not along the shared tree will not create state for (*, 239.1.1.1). 
		  
    •

PIM-SSM Example Source Traffic Only with No Active Receivers


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for PIM-SSM in a network environment where there is an active source with no interested receivers. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figure. 
		

 
		
Figure 6. PIM-SSM Example Topology: Source Traffic Only with No Active Receivers

 
		   
		   
		

 
		
 For this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  All routers in the network have been configured to run PIM-SSM and have the 
				ip 
				pim 
				ssm 
				default command configured globally. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Source A is sending multicast packets to SSM group 232.1.1.1. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Source B is not actively sending. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  There are no interested receivers in the network. 
		  
    • 
 
		

 
		
 Routers that support the MFIB will not create state for SSM multicast groups until a join has been requested by an interested receiver, which means that any routers with active sources sending to an SSM group will not have multicast state. Because there are no interested receivers in this network, none of the routers will create state for (192.168.1.2, 232.1.1.1). 
		

 
		
 The following is output from the 
		  show 
			 ip 
			 mroute, 
		  show 
			 ip 
			 mrib 
			 route, and 
		  show 
			 ip 
			 mfib commands taken from R1: 
		

 
	 

 
	 
R1
 
		 
		
R1# show ip mroute 239.1.1.1
Group 239.1.1.1 not found
R1# show ip mrib route 239.1.1.1
No matching routes in MRIB route-DB
R1# show ip mfib 239.1.1.1
Group 239.1.1.1 not found

 
		

Note
 Because there are no interested receivers in this network, the output from the 
		  show 
			 ip 
			 mroute, 
		  show 
			 ip 
			 mrib 
			 route, and 
		  show

PIM-SSM Example Unwanted Sources in the SSM Network


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for PIM-SSM in a network environment where there is an unwanted source. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figure. 
		

 
		
Figure 7. PIM-SSM Example Topology: Unwanted Sources in the SSM Network

 
		   
		   
		

 
		
 For this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  All routers in the network have been configured to run PIM-SSM and have the 
				ip 
				pim 
				ssm 
				default command configured globally. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Receiver A and Receiver B are only interested in receiving multicast from Source A, (192.168.1.2, 232.1.1.1). 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Unwanted source, Source B, is sending traffic to 232.1.1.1. 
		  
    • 
 
		

 
		

Note
 Even though Source B is directly connected to R3, R3 will not create state for 232.1.1.1. Multicast traffic from Source B sending to SSM group 232.1.1.1, thus, will be immediately dropped by the router.

R3# show ip mfib 232.1.1.1 192.168.3.1
(192.168.3.1,232.1.1.1) entry not found 

 
		

Note
 Likewise, R1, R4, and R7 will also have no multicast state for (192.168.3.1, 232.1.1.1) and any directly connected sources sending to 232.1.1.1 will be dropped. 
		

 
	 

 
  












Examples  Verifying IPv4 Multicast Forwarding Using the MFIB for Bidir-PIM Networks



    

      

This section contains the following examples for verifying multicast forwarding using the MFIB for bidir-PIM networks:


      

Note

The examples in this section were created in a test environment to provide a conceptual view of the multicast environment. The IP addresses, interfaces, and other values are shown as examples only. They do not show real-world deployment values. 


    


  


Bidir-PIM Example Active Sources with Interested Receivers


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for bidir-PIM in a network environment where there are active sources and interested receivers. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figures. 
		

 
		
Figure 8. Bidir-PIM Example Topology: Active Sources with Interested Receivers

 
		   
		   
		

 
		

 
		
Figure 9. Bidir-PIM Distribution Trees and Multicast Forwarding Paths for the Active Sources with No Interested Receivers Example

 
		   
		   
		

 
		
 For this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  Entries for (*, 239.195.0.0/16) are created by the control plane based on the PIM group-to-RP mappings on all routers. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Entries for (*, 239.195.1.1) will only be created when IGMP joins are initiated by interested receivers joining this group. As a result, all routers along the shared tree between the RP and the last-hop DRs that have interested receivers will have state for (*, 239.195.1.1). 
		  
    • 
 
		

 
		

Note
 R1 will not have state for (*, 239.195.1.1) because it is not between the RP and the last-hop DRs. 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  If both (*,239.195.0.0/26) and (*,239.195.1.1) entries are present in a router, the more specific entry, (*,239.195.1.1) will be used for forwarding. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  All source traffic for this scenario will go to the RP and then out the appropriate interfaces where there are interested receivers. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Source traffic received by the RP is never sent back out the same interface it was received on. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  In general, multicast packet forwarding can be verified by observing the “SW Forwarding” counter in the 
			 show 
				ip 
				mfib output for the most specific entry available in the MFIB. If multicast is being forwarded, this counter will increment. 
		  
    •

Bidir-PIM Example Active Sources with No Interested Receivers


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for bidir-PIM in a network environment where there are active sources with no interested receivers. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figures. 
		

 
		
Figure 10. Bidir-PIM Example Topology: Active Sources with No Interested Receivers

 
		   
		   
		

 
		

 
		
Figure 11. Bidir-PIM Distribution Trees and Multicast Forwarding Path for Active Sources with No Interested Receivers Example

 
		   
		   
		

 
		
 For this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  Entries for (*, 239.195.0.0/16) are created by the control plane based on the PIM group-to-RP mappings on all routers. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Because there are no interested receivers, (*, 239.195.0.0/16) will be the only state in the network on all routers. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  All source traffic for this example will go to the RP and then be dropped because there are no interested receivers in the network. In addition, source traffic received by the RP is never sent back out the same interface it was received on. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  In general, multicast packet forwarding can be verified by observing the “SW Forwarding” counter in the 
			 show 
				ip 
				mfib output for the most specific entry available in the MFIB. If multicast is being forwarded, this counter will increment. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  In this scenario, all traffic stops at the RP because there are no interested receivers. In addition, traffic received by the RP will be forwarded only to the bidir-PIM RP interface to be dropped.

Bidir-PIM Example No Active Sources with Interested Receivers


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for bidir-PIM in a network environment where there are no active sources with interested receivers. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figure. 
		

 
		
Figure 12. Bidir-PIM Example Topology: No Active Sources with Interested Receivers

 
		   
		   
		

 
		
 For this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  Entries for (*, 239.195.0.0/16) are created by the control plane based on the PIM group-to-RP mappings on all routers. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Entries for (*, 239.195.1.1) will be created only when IGMP joins are initiated by interested receivers joining this group. As a result, all routers along the shared tree between the RP and the last-hop DRs that have interested receivers will have state for (*, 239.195.1.1). 
		  
    • 
 
		

 
		

Note
 R1 will not have state for (*, 239.195.1.1) because it is not between the RP and the last-hop DRs. 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  In general, multicast packet forwarding can be verified by observing the “SW Forwarding” counter in 
			 show 
				ip 
				mfib command output for the most specific entry available in the MFIB. If multicast is being forwarded, this counter will increment; however, because there are no active sources in this scenario, this counter will not increment.

Bidir-PIM Example No Active Sources with No Interested Receivers


 
	 
 
		
 The following example shows how to verify multicast forwarding using the MFIB for bidir-PIM in a network environment where there are no active sources and no interested receivers. This verification example is based on the topology shown in the figure. 
		

 
		
Figure 13. Bidir-PIM Example Topology: No Active Sources with No Interested Receivers

 
		   
		   
		

 
		
 For this verification example, the following conditions apply: 
		

 
		
     
		  
  •  Entries for (*, 239.195.0.0/16) are created by the control plane based on the PIM group-to-RP mappings on all routers. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Entries for any group within the range 239.195.0.0/16 will be created only when IGMP joins are initiated by interested receivers joining that particular group. For example, if a multicast receiver joins the group 239.195.1.1, an entry for (*, 239.195.1.1) will be created on all routers along the shared tree. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  Because there are no interested receivers, (*, 239.195.0.0/16) will be the only state in the network on all routers. 
		  
    • 
 
		  
  •  In general, multicast packet forwarding can be verified by observing the “SW Forwarding” counter in 
			 show 
				ip 
				mfib command output for the most specific entry available in the MFIB. If multicast is being forwarded, this counter will increment; however, because there are no active sources in this scenario, this counter will not increment. 
		  
    •

 The MFIB architecture provides modularity and separation between the multicast control plane (PIM and IGMP) and the multicast forwarding plane (MFIB). This architecture is used in Cisco IOS IPv6 and Cisco IOS XR multicast implementations. With the introduction of the IPv4 MFIB infrastructure, the Cisco IOS IPv4 multicast implementation has been enhanced, making the MFIB forwarding model the only forwarding engine used.
