This command traces the detailed process of adding, deleting, and modifying a multicast cache. The IP
multicast cache is a hardware forwarding entry identified by a ptag index number. The following
command displays the cache entries:
show ipmc cache [detail] <IP multicast group>
The trace is based on the ingress VLAN of a cache. Use this tool if the egress list of a cache is incorrect,
if there are missing cache entries, or if any multicast stream jitters.
Example
The following command sets the reporting level for PIM cache errors to 3:
configure debug-trace pim-cache 3
Following is the log output at this level:
