Displaying Usage of Hardware Resource by Multicast Groups
You can display how much hardware resource (CAM and FID) is currently being used by multicast groups by
entering a command such as the following at any level of the CLI:
If you want to display the amount of hardware resource that is currently being used by a specific group, enter a
command such as the following at any level of the CLI:
