Usage Guidelines

Use the show ipv6 mfib command to display MFIB entries; and forwarding interfaces, and their traffic statistics. This command can be enabled on virtual IP (VIP) if the router is operating in distributed mode.

A forwarding entry in the MFIB has flags that determine the default forwarding and signaling behavior to use for packets matching the entry. The entry also has per-interface flags that further specify the forwarding behavior for packets received or forwarded on specific interfaces. The table below describes the MFIB forwarding entries and interface flags.

Table 2. MFIB Entries and Interface Flags

Flag

Description

F

Forward--Data is forwarded out of this interface.

A

Accept--Data received on this interface is accepted for forwarding.

IC

Internal copy--Deliver to the router a copy of the packets received or forwarded on this interface.

NS

Negate signal--Reverse the default entry signaling behavior for packets received on this interface.

DP

Do not preserve--When signaling the reception of a packet on this interface, do not preserve a copy of it (discard it instead).

SP

Signal present--The reception of a packet on this interface was just signaled.

S

Signal--By default, signal the reception of packets matching this entry.

C

Perform directly connected check for packets matching this entry. Signal the reception if packets were originated by a directly connected source.

Examples

The following example displays the forwarding entries and interfaces in the MFIB. The router is configured for fast switching, and it has a receiver joined to FF05::1 on Ethernet1/1 and a source (2001::1:1:20) sending on Ethernet1/2:

Usage Guidelines

All entries are created by various clients of the MRIB, such as Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD), Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), and Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB). The flags on each entry or interface serve as a communication mechanism between various clients of the MRIB. The entries reveal how PIM sends register messages for new sources and the action taken.

The summary keyword shows the count of all entries, including link-local entries.

The interface flags are described in the table below.

Table 25. Description of Interface Flags

Flag

Description

F

Forward--Data is forwarded out of this interface

A

Accept--Data received on this interface is accepted for forwarding

IC

SP

Signal present

II

Internal interest

ID

Internal uninterest

LI

Local interest

LD

Local uninterest

C

Perform directly connected check

Special entries in the MRIB indicate exceptions from the normal behavior. For example, no signaling or notification is necessary for arriving data packets that match any of the special group ranges. The special group ranges are as follows:

  • Undefined scope (FFX0::/16)

  • Node local groups (FFX1::/16)

  • Link-local groups (FFX2::/16)

  • Source Specific Multicast (SSM) groups (FF3X::/32).

For all the remaining (usually sparse-mode) IPv6 multicast groups, a directly connected check is performed and the PIM notified if a directly connected source arrives. This procedure is how PIM sends register messages for new sources.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show ipv6 mrib route command using the summary keyword:


Router# show ipv6 mrib route summary

15.4(1)S

This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 901 series routers.

Usage Guidelines

The IPv6 multicast implementation does not have a separate mroute table. For this reason, the show ipv6 mroute command enables you to display the information in the PIM topology table in a format similar to the show ip mroute command.

If you omit all optional arguments and keywords, the show ipv6 mroute command displays all the entries in the PIM topology table (except link-local groups where the link-local keyword is available).

The Cisco IOS software populates the PIM topology table by creating (S,G) and (*,G) entries based on PIM protocol messages, MLD reports, and traffic. The asterisk (*) refers to all source addresses, the "S" refers to a single source address, and the "G" is the destination multicast group address. In creating (S, G) entries, the software uses the best path to that destination group found in the unicast routing table (that is, through Reverse Path Forwarding [RPF]).

Use the show ipv6 mroute command to display the forwarding status of each IPv6 multicast route.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show ipv6 mroute command:

The table below describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 27. show ipv6 mroute Field Descriptions

Field

Description

Flags:

Provides information about the entry.

  • S--sparse. Entry is operating in sparse mode.

  • s--SSM group. Indicates that a multicast group is within the SSM range of IP addresses. This flag is reset if the SSM range changes.

  • C--connected. A member of the multicast group is present on the directly connected interface.

  • L--local. The router itself is a member of the multicast group.

  • I--received source specific host report. Indicates that an (S, G) entry was created by an (S, G) report. This flag is set only on the designated router (DR).

  • P--pruned. Route has been pruned. The Cisco IOS software keeps this information so that a downstream member can join the source.

  • R--RP-bit set. Indicates that the (S, G) entry is pointing toward the RP. This is typically prune state along the shared tree for a particular source.

  • F--register flag. Indicates that the software is registering for a multicast source.

  • T--SPT-bit set. Indicates that packets have been received on the shortest path source tree.

  • J--join SPT. For (*, G) entries, indicates that the rate of traffic flowing down the shared tree is exceeding the SPT-Threshold value set for the group. (The default SPT-Threshold setting is 0 kbps.) When the J - Join shortest path tree (SPT) flag is set, the next (S, G) packet received down the shared tree triggers an (S, G) join in the direction of the source, thereby causing the router to join the source tree.

The default SPT-Threshold value of 0 kbps is used for the group, and the J - Join SPT flag is always set on (*, G) entries and is never cleared. The router immediately switches to the shortest path source tree when traffic from a new source is received.

Timers: Uptime/Expires

"Uptime" indicates per interface how long (in hours, minutes, and seconds) the entry has been in the IPv6 multicast routing table. "Expires" indicates per interface how long (in hours, minutes, and seconds) until the entry will be removed from the IPv6 multicast routing table.

Interface state:

Indicates the state of the incoming or outgoing interface.

  • Interface. Indicates the type and number of the interface listed in the incoming or outgoing interface list.

  • Next-Hop. "Next-Hop" specifies the IP address of the downstream neighbor.

  • State/Mode. "State" indicates that packets will either be forwarded, pruned, or null on the interface depending on whether there are restrictions due to access lists. "Mode" indicates that the interface is operating in sparse mode.

(*, FF07::1) and (2001:0DB8:999::99)

Entry in the IPv6 multicast routing table. The entry consists of the IPv6 address of the source router followed by the IPv6 address of the multicast group. An asterisk (*) in place of the source router indicates all sources.

Entries in the first format are referred to as (*, G) or "star comma G" entries. Entries in the second format are referred to as (S, G) or "S comma G" entries; (*, G) entries are used to build (S, G) entries.

RP

Address of the RP router.

flags:

Information set by the MRIB clients on this MRIB entry.

Incoming interface:

Expected interface for a multicast packet from the source. If the packet is not received on this interface, it is discarded.

RPF nbr

IP address of the upstream router to the RP or source.

Outgoing interface list:

Interfaces through which packets will be forwarded. For (S,G) entries, this list will not include the interfaces inherited from the (*,G) entry.

show ipv6 mroute active

Field

Description

Group:

Summary information about counters for (*, G) and the range of (S, G) states for one particular group G. The following RP-tree: and Source: output fields contain information about the individual states belonging to this group.

Note

 

For Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM) range groups, the Group: displays are statistical. All SSM range (S, G) states are individual, unrelated SSM channels.

Rate...kbps

Bytes per second divided by packets per second divided by 1000. On an IP multicast fast-switching platform, the number of packets per second is the number of packets during the last second. Other platforms may use a different approach to calculate this number. Please refer to the platform documentation for more information.
