PIM-DM (Dense Mode) on the 5300xl Switches
Displaying PIM Data and Configuration Settings on the Series 5300xl Switches
DownStream Interfaces:
– VLAN: Lists the VID of the destination VLAN on the next-
hop multicast router.
– Prune Reason: Identifies the reason for pruning the flow to the
indicated VLAN:
•
•
•
Prune: A neighbor multicast router has sent a prune
request.
Assert: Another multicast router connected to the
same VLAN has been elected to provide the path for
the specified multicast group traffic.
Other: Used where the VLAN is in the pruned state
for any reason other than the above two reasons
(such as no neighbors exist and no directly con-
nected hosts have done joins).
This example displays the MRT
data on the first of the two
multicast groups shown in figure
5-13 on page 5-31.
