This display shows the following information.

 

 

 

 

 

This Field...

 

 

Displays...

 

 

 

 

 

Port

 

 

 

The interface through which the routing switch is connected to the

 

 

 

 

neighbor.

 

 

 

 

 

Neighbor

 

 

 

The IP interface of the PIM neighbor interface.

 

 

 

 

Holdtime sec

 

 

Indicates how many seconds the neighbor wants this routing switch to

 

 

 

 

hold the entry for this neighbor in memory. The neighbor sends the

 

 

 

 

Hold Time in its Hello packets.

 

 

 

 

• If the routing switch receives a new Hello packet before the

 

 

 

 

 

Hold Time received in the previous packet expires, the

 

 

 

 

 

routing switch updates its table entry for the neighbor.

 

 

 

 

• If the routing switch does not receive a new Hello packet

 

 

 

 

 

from the neighbor before the Hold time expires, the routing

 

 

 

 

 

switch assumes the neighbor is no longer available and

 

 

 

 

 

removes the entry for the neighbor.

 

 

 

 

 

Age sec

 

 

 

The number of seconds since the routing switch received the last hello

 

 

 

 

message from the neighbor.

 

 

 

 

UpTime sec

 

 

The number of seconds the PIM neighbor has been up. This timer

 

 

 

 

starts when the routing switch receives the first Hello messages from

 

 

 

 

the neighbor.
