This display shows the following information.
Multicast Listener Discovery and source specific multicast
protocols (MLDv2)
The Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2) protocol is available on the BigIron RX that is
running IPv6. IPv6 routers use the MLDv2 protocol to discover multicast listeners, or nodes that
wish to receive multicast packets on directly attached links. MLDv2 supports source filtering, the
ability of a node to send reports on traffic that is from a specific address source or from all
multicast addresses except the specified address sources. The information is then provided to the
source specific multicast (SSM) routing protocols such as PIM-SSM.
allo-fail Number of allocated notes that failed
up-limit Maximum number of nodes that can be allocated for a data structure. This may
or may not be configurable, depending on the data structure
This field... Displays...
Port The port or virtual interface on which the IPv6 PIM interface is configured.
Hello The number of IPv6 PIM Hello messages sent or received on the interface.
J/P The number of Join/Prune messages sent or received on the interface.
NOTE: Unlike PIM dense, PIM Sparse uses the same messages for Joins and
Prunes.
Register The number of Register messages sent or received on the interface.
RegStop The number of Register Stop messages sent or received on the interface.
Assert The number of Assert messages sent or received on the interface.
Total Recv/Xmit The total number of IGMP messages sent and received by the device.
Total Discard/chksum The total number of IGMP messages discarded, including a separate counter for
those that failed the checksum comparison.
