This Field... Displays...
Port The interface through which the Layer 3 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 Layer 3 Switch
to hold the entry for this neighbor in memory. The neighbor sends the
Hold Time in its Hello packets.
• If the Layer 3 Switch receives a new Hello packet before the
Hold Time received in the previous packet expires, the Layer
3 Switch updates its table entry for the neighbor.
• If the Layer 3 Switch does not receive a new Hello packet
from the neighbor before the Hold time expires, the Layer 3
Switch assumes the neighbor is no longer available and
removes the entry for the neighbor.
Age sec The number of seconds since the Layer 3 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 Layer 3 Switch receives the first Hello messages from
the neighbor.
