show multicast route

Display the entries in the IP multicast forwarding table. You can display similar information with the show route table inet.1 command.

Options

none — Display standard information about all entries in the multicast forwarding table for all routing instances on all logical systems.

brief | detail | extensive — (Optional) Display the specified level of output.

active | all | inactive — (Optional) Display all active entries, all entries, or all inactive entries, respectively, in the multicast forwarding table.

inet | inet6 — (Optional) Display multicast forwarding table entries for IPv4 or IPv6 family addresses, respectively.

instance instance-name — (Optional) Display entries in the multicast forwarding table for a specific multicast instance.

logical-system (all | logical-system-name) — (Optional) Perform this operation on all logical systems or on a particular logical system.

regular-expression — (Optional) Display information about the multicast forwarding table entries that match a UNIX-style regular expression.

source-prefix source-prefix — (Optional) Display the cache entries for a particular source prefix.

Output Fields

Table 45 describes the output fields for the show multicast route command. Output fields are listed in the approximate order in which they appear.

Sample Output

Field Name	Field Description	Level of Output
Address family	IPv4 address family (INET) or IPv6 address family (INET6).	All levels
Group	Group address.	All levels
Source	Prefix and length of the source as it is in the multicast forwarding table.	All levels
Upstream interface	Name of the interface on which the packet with this source prefix is expected to arrive.	All levels
Downstream interface list	A list of interface names to which the packet with this source prefix is forwarded to.	All levels
Session description	Name of the multicast session.	detail extensive
Statistics	Rate at which packets are being forwarded for this source and group entry (in Kbps and pps), and number of packets that have been forwarded to this prefix.	detail extensive
Next-hop ID	Next-hop identifier of the prefix. The identifier is returned by the router's Packet Forwarding Engine and is also displayed in the output of the show multicast nexthops command.	detail extensive
Upstream protocol	Protocol running on the interface on which the packet with this source prefix is expected to arrive.	detail extensive
Route state	Whether the group is Active or Inactive.	extensive
Forwarding state	Whether the prefix is pruned or forwarding.	extensive
Cache lifetime/timeout	Number of seconds until the prefix is removed from the multicast forwarding table. A value of never indicates a permanent forwarding entry.	extensive
Wrong incoming interface notifications	Number of times that the upstream interface was not available.	extensive
