Displaying IPv6 PIM inteface information

You also can display IPv6 multicast interface information using the show ipv6 pim interface
command.

Global PIM sparse mode settings

Hello interval

How frequently the device sends IPv6 PIM Sparse hello messages to its IPv6
PIM Sparse neighbors. This field show the number of seconds between hello
messages. IPv6 PIM Sparse routers use hello messages to discover one
another.

Neighbor timeout

How many seconds the device will wait for a hello message from a neighbor
before determining that the neighbor is no longer present and removing
cached IPv6 PIM Sparse forwarding entries for the neighbor.

Bootstrap Msg interval

How frequently the BSR configured on the device sends the RP set to the RPs
within the IPv6 PIM Sparse domain. The RP set is a list of candidate RPs and
their group prefixes. A candidate RP’s group prefix indicates the range of IPv6
PIM Sparse group numbers for which it can be an RP.
NOTE: This field contains a value only if an interface on the device is elected

to be the BSR. Otherwise, the field is blank.

Candidate-RP Advertisement
interval

How frequently the candidate PR configured on the device sends candidate RP
advertisement messages to the BSR.
NOTE: This field contains a value only if an interface on the device is

configured as a candidate RP. Otherwise, the field is blank.

Join/Prune interval

How frequently the device sends IPv6 PIM Sparse Join/Prune messages for the
multicast groups it is forwarding. This field show the number of seconds
between Join/Prune messages.
The device sends Join/Prune messages on behalf of multicast receivers who
want to join or leave an IPv6 PIM Sparse group. When forwarding packets from
IPv6 PIM Sparse sources, the device sends the packets only on the interfaces
on which it has received join requests in Join/Prune messages for the source’s
group.

SPT Threshold

The number of packets the device sends using the path through the RP before
switching to using the SPT path.

Inactivity Interval

SSM Enabled

If yes, source-specific multicast is configured globally on this router.

IPv6 PIM sparse interface information

NOTE: You also can display IPv6 multicast interface information using the show ipv6 pim interface command.

Interface

The type of interface and the interface number. The interface type can be one
of the following:

Ethernet

VE

The number is either a port number (and slot number if applicable) or the
virtual interface (VE) number.

TTL Threshold

Following the TTL threshold value, the interface state is listed. The interface
state can be one of the following:

Disabled

Enabled

Local Address

Indicates the IP address configured on the port or virtual interface.
