MULTICAST ROUTING

Displaying the Multicast Routing Table

You can display information on each multicast route this router has learned via DVMRP or PIM. The router learns multicast routes from neighboring routers, and also advertises these routes to its neighbors. The router stores entries for all paths learned by itself or from other routers, without considering actual group membership or prune messages. The routing table therefore does not indicate that the router has processed multicast traffic from any particular source listed in the table. It uses these routes to forward multicast traffic only if group members appear on directly-attached subnetworks or on subnetworks attached to downstream routers.

Field Attributes

•Group Address – IP group address for a multicast service.

•Source Address – Subnetwork containing the IP multicast source.

•Netmask – Network mask for the IP multicast source.

•Interface – Interface leading to the upstream neighbor.

•Owner – The associated multicast protocol (i.e., DVMRP or PIM).

•Flags – The flags associated with each interface indicate prune (P) if the downstream interface has been recently terminated or forwarding

(F)if the interface is still active.

•Detail – This button displays detailed information for the selected entry.

•Upstream Router* – The multicast router immediately upstream for this group.

•Downstream* – Interface(s) on which multicast subscribers have been recorded.

*These items are displayed in the IP Multicast Routing Entry (Detail) table.
