Multicast Routing and Forwarding Commands

This module describes the commands used to configure and monitor multicast routing.

For detailed information about multicast routing concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, refer to the Implementing Multicast Routing on Cisco IOS XR Software configuration module in the Cisco IOS XR Multicast Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router.

accounting per-prefix

To enable accounting for multicast routing, use the accounting per-prefix command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

accounting per-prefix

no accounting per-prefix

Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Command Default

This feature is disabled by default.

Command Modes

Multicast routing configuration

Multicast routing address family IPv4 and IPv6 configuration

Multicast VRF configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.0

This command was introduced.

Release 3.5.0

This command was supported in multicast VRF configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

The accounting per-prefix command is used to enable per-prefix counters only in hardware. Cisco IOS XR Software counters are always present. When enabled, every existing and new (S, G) route is assigned forward, punt, and drop counters on the ingress route and forward and punt counters on the egress route. The (*, G) routes are assigned a single counter.

There are a limited number of counters on all nodes. When a command is enabled, counters are assigned to routes only if they are available.

Because the use of this counter can be resource-intensive when a large number of routes are configured, such as for multicast VPN (there is a limit of 150,000 routes to a router), use the show mfib hardware resource-counters command in EXEC mode to check resource allocation. Should hardware resource allocation be an issue, we recommend the use of the accounting per-prefix forward-only command.

To verify the number of statistics allocated or free on a line card, use the show mfib hardware resource-counters command in EXEC mode.

You may switch between accounting-perprefix and accounting per-prefix forward-only statistics on any (S,G) route. However, be aware that only one set of counters is supported on the (*,G) routes (with fwd/punt/drop on ingress and fwd/drop on egress) regardless of whether you enabled the accounting-perprefix or accounting-perprefix fwd-only command.

Although you can switch accouting modes, this involves freeing the hardware statistics and reallocating them, thereby resulting in a loss of any previously collected data. Therefore, it is preferable to decide which statistics mode you want to use at the start to avoid the resource cost entailed by resetting the statistics counter values with a change in mode.

To display packet statistics, use the show mfib route and the show mfib hardware route statistics commands. These commands display “N/A” for counters when no hardware statistics are available or when neither the accounting per-prefix command nor the accounting per-prefix forward-only command is enabled.

Related Commands

Command

Description

accounting per-prefix forward-only

Reduces hardware statistics resource allocations when enabling accounting, particularly for multicast VPN (MVPN).  

show mfib hardware route statistics

Displays platform-specific Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) information for the packet and byte counters for each route.  

show mfib route

Displays route entries in the Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB).  

accounting per-prefix forward-only

To reduce hardware statistics resource allocations when enabling accounting, particularly for multicast VPN (MVPN), use the accounting per-prefix forward-only command under multicast routing configuration mode. To return to the default mode of accounting per-prefix, use the no form of this command.

accounting per-prefix forward-only

no accounting per-prefix forward-only

Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Command Default

If no counters were configured, there is no default.

If the accounting per-prefix counter was previously configured, it becomes the default.

If no accounting was configured for multicast routing, forwarding-only is the default mode and triggers a data MDT transition in the case of MVPN deployment.

Command Modes

Multicast routing configuration

Multicast routing address family IPv4 and IPv6 configuration

Multicast VRF configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 3.8.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines


Note


The accounting per-prefix forward-only command has only one fwd-only counter. In other words, there is no punt or drop counter allocated.


We recommended this command for configuration of multicast VPN routing or for any line card that has a route-intensive configuration. Each individual router can support up to 150,000 routes.


Note


To verify the number of statistics allocated or free on a line card, use the show mfib hardware resource-counters command in EXEC mode.


There are a limited number of counters on all nodes. When accounting on a prefix is enabled, counters are assigned to routes only if they are available.

To display packet statistics, use the show mfib route and the show mfib hardware route statistics commands. These commands display “N/A” for counters when no hardware statistics are available or when neither the accounting per-prefix command nor the accounting per-prefix forward-only command are enabled.

You may switch between accounting-perprefix and accounting per-prefix forward-only statistics for ipv4 or ipv6 multicast family. However, be aware that only one set of counters is supported on the (*,G) routes (with fwd/punt/drop on ingress and fwd/drop on egress) regardless of whether you enabled the accounting-perprefix or accounting-perprefix fwd-only command.

Although you can switch accounting modes, this involves freeing the hardware statistics and reallocating them, thereby resulting in a loss of any previously collected data. Therefore, it is preferable to decide which statistics mode you want to use at the start to avoid the resource cost entailed by resetting the statistics counter values with a change in mode.

address-family (multicast)

To display available IP prefixes to enable multicast routing and forwarding on all router interfaces, use the address-family command in multicast-routing configuration mode or multicast VRF configuration submode. To disable use of an IP address prefix for routing, use the no form of this command.

address-family [ vrf vrf-name ] { ipv4 | ipv6 }

no address-family [ vrf vrf-name ] { ipv4 | ipv6 }

Syntax Description

vrf vrf-name

(Optional) Specifies a VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance.

ipv4

Specifies IPv4 address prefixes.

ipv6

Specifies IPv6 address prefixes.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Multicast VRF configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 2.0

This command was introduced.

Release 3.7.0

This command was documented as a multicast command.

Usage Guidelines

Use the address-family command either from multicast routing configuration mode or from multicast VRF configuration sub to enter either the multicast IPv4 or IPv6 address family configuration submode, depending on which keyword was chosen. Use the address-family command with the multicast-routing command to start the following multicast processes:

  • Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB)
  • Multicast Forwarding Engine (MFWD)
  • Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse mode (PIM-SM)
  • Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
  • Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol (MLD)

Basic multicast services start automatically when the multicast PIE is installed, without any explicit configuration required. The following multicast services are started automatically:

  • Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB)
  • Multicast Forwarding Engine (MFWD)
  • Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse mode (PIM-SM)
  • Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

Other multicast services require explicit configuration before they start. For example, to start the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) process, you must enter the router msdp command and explicitly configure it.

To enable multicast routing and protocols on interfaces, you must explicitly enable the interfaces using the interface command in multicast routing configuration mode. This action can be performed on individual interfaces or by configuring a wildcard interface using the alias command.

To enable multicast routing on all interfaces, use the interface all enable command in multicast routing configuration mode. For any interface to be fully enabled for multicast routing, it must be enabled specifically (or configured through the interface all enable command for all interfaces) in multicast routing configuration mode, and it must not be disabled in the PIM and IGMP configuration modes.


Note


The enable and disable keywords available under the IGMP and PIM interface configuration modes have no effect unless the interface is enabled in multicast routing configuration mode—either by default or by explicit interface configuration.


To allow multicast forwarding functionality, while turning multicast routing functionality off, interface-inheritance disable command on a per interface or interface all enable basis in PIM or IGMP configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs.

The Multicast Forwarding (MFWD) process exists on each line card and assigns hardware counters to each (S, G) route. Additionally, one global counter is assigned for all (*, G) routes, depending on resource availability.

To clear the set of counters for (*, G) routes, the MFWD process assigns a single set of counters to count packets that match (*, G) routes. Consequently, the clear mfib hardware route statistics command must be used in a form that either clears counters on all routes or matches all (*, G) routes.


Note


This command only clears MFIB hardware statistics counters. To clear MFIB route packet software counters, use the clear mfib counter command.


This command can be used regardless of the statistics mode, in other words, either accounting per-prefix or accounting per-prefix forward-only.


Note


This command does not clear global (*, G) counters.

Disables multicast routing and forwarding on an interface.  

interface all enable

Enables multicast routing and forwarding on all new and existing interfaces.  

forwarding-latency

To delay traffic being forwarded on a route, use the forwarding-latency command. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

forwarding-latency [ delay milliseconds ]

no forwarding-latency

Syntax Description

delay milliseconds

(Optional) Specifies the delay time in miliseconds. Range is 5 - 500.

Command Default

The default delay time is 30 milliseconds.

Release

Modification

Release 3.8.0

Usage Guidelines

Use the forwarding-latency command when you expect a receiver to leave and rejoin the same multicast group within a very short period such as 20 or 30 milliseconds. The delay may be required to provide the router sufficient time to update its Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) table.

When the forwarding-latency command is enabled, each interface is allocated a separate table lookup unit (TLU) block in the output interface list (olist), thereby increasing TLU hardware resource usage, and, for this reason, it should be used with caution when many multicast routes are present.

When the forwarding-latency command is disabled, up to three interfaces may share a single TLU block in the olist.

interface-inheritance disable

To separate PIM and IGMP routing from multicast forwarding on all interfaces, use the interface-inheritance disable command under multicast routing address-family IPv4 or IPv6 submode. To restore the default functionality, use the no form of the command.

Usage Guidelines

Use of the interface-inheritance disable command together with the interface type interface-path-id or interface all enable command under multicast routing address-family IPv4 or IPv6 submode separates PIM and IGMP routing functionality from multicast forwarding on specified interfaces. You can nonetheless enable multicast routing functionality explicitly under PIM or IGMP routing configuration mode for individual interfaces.


Note


Although you can explicitly configure multicast routing functionality on individual interfaces, you cannot explicitly disable the functionality. You can only disable the functionality on all interfaces.


Used from the address-family ipv4 configuration submode, it prevents IGMP and PIM from inheriting the multicast-routing interface configuration.

Examples

The following configuration disables PIM and IGMP routing functionality on all the interfaces using the interface-inheritance disable command, but multicast forwarding is still enabled on all the interfaces in the example, based on use of the keywords interface all enable .

PIM is enabled on Loopback 0 based on its explicit configuration ( interface Loopback0 enable ) under router pim configuration mode.

IGMP protocol is enabled on GigabitEthernet0/6/0/3, because it too has been configured explicitly under router igmp configuration mode ( interface GigabitEthernet0/6/0/3 router enable ):

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# multicast-routing 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mcast)# address-family ipv4 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mcast-default-ipv4)# interface-inheritance disable 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mcast-default-ipv4)# interface loopback 1 enable 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mcast-default-ipv4)# show run router pim 

With the interface-inheritance disable command in use, IGMP, or MLD, and PIM configuration are enabled in the protocol configuration as follows:

router igmp
  interface loopback 0
    router enable

router pim
   interface loopback 0
     enable

router pim vrf default address-family ipv4
 interface Loopback0

Usage Guidelines

When certain multicast streams exceed a configured bandwidth, the multicast data is moved to an MDT data group that is dynamically chosen from an available pool of multicast addresses. If the traffic bandwidth falls below the threshold, the source is switched back to the default MDT. To avoid transitions between the MDTs, traffic only reverts to the default MDT if traffic below the data MDT threshold is at least one minute old.

Release 3.5.0

The lifetime lifetime keyword and argument were added.

Usage Guidelines

The nsf command does not enable or disable the multicast routing system, but just the NSF capability for all the relevant components. When the no form of this command is used, the NSF configuration is returned to its default disabled state.

Enable multicast NSF when you require enhanced availability of multicast forwarding. When enabled, failures of the control-plane multicast routing components Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB) or Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) will not cause multicast forwarding to stop. When these components fail or communication with the control plane is otherwise disrupted, existing Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) entries continue to forward packets until either the control plane recovers or the MFIB NSF timeout expires.

Enable multicast NSF when you upgrade control-plane Cisco IOS XR Software packages so that the live upgrade process does not interrupt forwarding.

When the MFIB partner processes enter NSF mode, forwarding on stale (nonupdated) MFIB entries continues as the control-plane components attempt to recover gracefully. Successful NSF recovery is signaled to the Multicast Forwarding Engine (MFWD) partner processes by MRIB. MRIB remains in NSF mode until Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) has recovered state from the network and host stack and until PIM has recovered state from the network and IGMP. When both PIM and IGMP have recovered and fully updated the MRIB, MRIB signals the MFIBs that NSF is ending, and begins updating the stale MFIB entries. When all updates have been sent, the MFWD partner processes delete all remaining stale MFIB entries and returns to normal operation, ending the NSF mode. MFIB NSF timeout prior to the signal from MRIB may cause NSF to end, and thus forwarding to stop.

When forwarding is in NSF mode, multicast flows may continue longer than necessary when network conditions change due to multicast routing protocols, unicast routing protocol reachability information, or local sender and receiver changes. The MFWD partner processes halt forwarding on stale MFIB entries when the potential for a multicast loop is detected by receipt of incoming data on a forwarding interface for the matching MFIB entry.


Note


For NSF to operate successfully in your multicast network, you must also enable NSF for the unicast protocols (such as Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System [IS-IS], Open Shortest Path First [OSPF] and Border Gateway Protocol [BGP]) that PIM relies on for Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) information. See the appropriate configuration modules to learn how to configure NSF for unicast protocols.

Description

iQoS

An identifier of a quality-of-service (QoS) policy. This field is currently unused.

C

Directly connected check flag. If “T” is displayed, hardware performs directly connected checks on the packet sources that match this route.

S

Signal on Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) interface. If “T” is displayed, hardware punts the packet to the line card CPU to signal Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) (by default) for all packets that match this route.

FU

For us. A packet is destined for this router. If “T” is displayed, at least one application is interested in packets on one or more interfaces that match this route.

P

Punt. If “T” is displayed, all packets that match the route punt to the line card CPU.

PF

Punt if forward. If “T” is displayed, when the ingress hardware sends a packet to the egress line cards across the fabric, it also punts a copy of the packet to the line card CPU.

BA

Boundary access list (ACL). If “T” is displayed, the hardware punts the packet to the line card CPU for software switching when the incoming interface has a boundary access list configured.

oQoS

Output QoS policy identifier. This field is currently unused.

A_num

Number of accepting interfaces for a bidirectional route.

Usage Guidelines

Use the show mfib hardware route statistics command to display the hardware packet and byte counter for a route. Route counters are kept for (S, G) routes only. A single set of counters is provided for all

(*, G) routes.

This command displays the hardware packet and bytes count on a per-route basis. Per-route hardware counters are kept for (S, G) routes only. However, counters are managed dynamically and allocated on a priority basis and may not be available for each (S, G) route. There is a single set of counters for all

(*, G) routes. For example, interface counters and access list counters have higher priority than route counters.


Note


Route counters are local to each line card.

Usage Guidelines

The show mfib nsf command displays the current multicast NSF state for the MFIB process contained on all line cards and route processors (RPs) in the router.

For multicast NSF, the state may be one of the following:

  • Normal—Normal operation: The MFIBs in the card contain only up-to-date MFIB entries.
  • Boot Card Booting—Card is initializing and has not yet determined its NSF state.
  • Not Forwarding—Multicast Forwarding Disabled: Multicast routing failed to recover from a failure-induced NSF state prior to the MFIB NSF timeout.
  • Non-stop Forwarding Activated—Multicast NSF active: The router is operating in NSF mode while attempting to recover from a control-plane failure. In this mode, data is forwarded based on MFIB entries that are either updated by the recovered Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB), or MFIB entries that were marked stale when NSF mode began. The times remaining until multicast NSF and multicast-unicast NSF expiration are displayed.

Usage Guidelines

All entries in the MFIB table are derived from the Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB). The flags have the same connotation as in the MRIB. The flags determine the forwarding and signaling behavior according to a set of forwarding rules for multicast packets. In addition to the list of interfaces and flags, each route entry shows various counters. Byte count is the number of total bytes forwarded. Packet count is the number of packets received for this entry.

The show mfib counter command displays global counters independent of the routes.

This command displays counters for the number of packets and bytes that are handled by software switching. Counters for packets processed by hardware are displayed by the appropriate show mfib hardware command.

The command displays the cumulative rates per route for all line cards in the Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) table when the rate keyword is used with the source and group IP addresses.

The show mfib route rate command is not supported on interfaces such as bundle virtual interfaces and Bridge Group virtual interfaces (BVIs).

The command displays the rate per route for one line card in Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) table when the statistics keyword is used.

Table 10 show mrib client Field Descriptions

Field

Description

igmp

Name of the client.

417957

Personal identifier (PID) or a unique ID assigned by MRIB.

(connection id 0)

Unique client connection identifier.

ownership filter:

Specifies all the route entry and interface-level flags that are owned by the client. As the owner of the flag, only the client can add or remove the flag. For example, only the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) client can add the II flag on an interface. MRIB does not allow a non-owner to register or modify the same flag.

groups: include 0.0.0.0/0interfaces: include All

Groups and interfaces registered by the clients consisting of two lists. One is an include list (items for which the client requests to be notified.) The use of “All” implies all interfaces and 0.0.0.0/0 to indicate all groups. Not shown in this example is the exclude list. This list contains items for which the client requests not to be notified when modifications occur.

interface attributes:

II ID LI LD

Interface-level flags set on the interface belong to a route.

interest filter:

Specifies all the flags, groups, and interfaces from which the client requests information. When a flag of interest for a client is modified, the client is notified.

entry attributes:

S C IA IF D

Entry-level flags that are set on the route.

show mrib mdt-interface

To verify that the Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB) has correctly learned multicast distribution tree (MDT) interface handles from Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) and that it shows the corresponding table ID for each handle, use the show mrib mdt-interface command in EXEC mode.

show mrib mdt-interface [ detail | ifh ]

Syntax Description

detail

(Optional) Shows the dependent VRF routes for the MDT interface handles learned from PIM.

ifh

(Optional) Specifies the mapping for a particular MDT interface handle learned from PIM.

Command Default

IPv4 addressing is the default.

Usage Guidelines

You can use the show mrib mdt-interface command to help debug an MVPN route collapse in MRIB when Extranet VRF dependencies are introduced. For example, MRIB may learn about a route update from PIM with an MDT handle associated with a different VRF table than the source VRF table. This database can then be useful in verifying that the MDT handle for the dependent VRF has been learned correctly.

Table 11 show mrib mdt-interface Field Descriptions

Field

Description

TID, tid

VRF table ID associated with the MDT handle.

MH

Number of times the MDT interface handle has been received.

Used for debugging, because it allows you to identify duplicate updates. Under normal conditions, the value should be 1.

I

Number of intranet routes using a specific MDT interface handle.

EX

Number of extranet routes using a specific MDT interface handle.

Up

Uptime—Elapsed time since MDT interface handle was learned.

recollapse

Set to TRUE in situations where the MDT information (such as default MDT group or MDT interface handle) for a dependent VRF table was not received from PIM during a route collapse. The route will be “recollapsed” when all the dependent information is received.

When you use the detail keyword, the output displays dependent VRF routes. Otherwise, only the MDT interface mappings appear.

Table 12 show mrib nsf Field Descriptions

Field

Description

Multicast routing state

Multicast NSF status of the MRIB (Normal or NSF Activated).

NSF Lifetime

Timeout for MRIB NSF, computed as the maximum of the PIM and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) NSF lifetimes, plus 60 seconds.

NSF Time Remaining

If MRIB NSF state is activated, the time remaining until MRIB reverts to Normal mode displays. Before this timeout, MRIB receives notifications from IGMP and PIM, triggering a successful end of NSF and cause the transition to normal state. If notifications are not received, the timer triggers a transition back to normal mode, causing new routes to download to MFIB and old routes to be deleted.

Usage Guidelines

Each line card has an individual Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) table. The MFIB table maintains a subset of entries and flags updated from MRIB. The flags determine the forwarding and signaling behavior according to a set of forwarding rules for multicast packets. In addition to the list of interfaces and flags, each route entry shows various counters. Byte count is the number of total bytes forwarded. Packet count is the number of packets received for this entry.

The show mfib counter command displays global counters independent of the routes.
