This field...

Displays...

(

<

source>,

<

group>)

The comma-separated values in parentheses is a source-group pair.
The

<

source> is the PIM source for the multicast

<

group>. For example,

the following entry means source 209.157.24.162 for group
239.255.162.1: (209.157.24.162,239.255.162.1)
If the

<

source> value is * (asterisk), this cache entry uses the RP path.

The * value means “all sources”.
If the

<

source> is a specific source address, this cache entry uses the

SPT path.

RP

<

ip-addr>

Indicates the RP for the group for this cache entry.
NOTE: The RP address appears only if the RPT flag is set to 1 and the

SPT flag is set to 0 (see below).

forward port

The port through which the BigIron RX reaches the source.

Count

The number of packets forwarded using this cache entry.

Sparse Mode

Indicates whether the cache entry is for regular PIM (dense mode) or
PIM Sparse. This flag can have one of the following values:

0 – The entry is not for PIM Sparse (and is therefore for the dense
mode of PIM).

1– The entry is for PIM Sparse.

RPT

Indicates whether the cache entry uses the RP path or the SPT path. The
RPT flag can have one of the following values:

0 – The SPT path is used instead of the RP path.

1– The RP path is used instead of the SPT path.

NOTE: The values of the RP and SPT flags are always opposite (one is

set to 0 and the other is set to 1).

SPT

Indicates whether the cache entry uses the RP path or the SPT path. The
SP flag can have one of the following values:

0 – The RP path is used instead of the SPT path.

1– The SPT path is used instead of the RP path.

NOTE: The values of the RP and SPT flags are always opposite (one is

set to 0 and the other is set to 1).

Register Suppress

Indicates whether the Register Suppress timer is running. This field can
have one of the following values:

0 – The timer is not running.

1 – The timer is running.

member ports

Indicates the BigIron RX physical ports to which the receivers for the
source and group are attached. The receivers can be directly attached or
indirectly attached through other PIM Sparse routers.

virtual ports

Indicates the virtual interfaces to which the receivers for the source and
group are attached. The receivers can be directly attached or indirectly
attached through other PIM Sparse routers.

prune ports

Indicates the physical ports on which the BigIron RX has received a
prune notification (in a Join/Prune message) to remove the receiver
from the list of recipients for the group.

virtual prune ports

Indicates the virtual interfaces ports on which the BigIron RX has
received a prune notification (in a Join/Prune message) to remove the
receiver from the list of recipients for the group.
