Monitoring PIM

You can display information about PIM events and parameters.

Monitoring PIM Events

You can use the debug PIM commands to view information about PIM events.

debug ipv6 pim

Use to show information about the selected event.
To control the type of events displayed, specify a severity level.
To control how much information to display, specify a verbosity level.
Example
host1#debug ipv6 pim events severity 1 verbosity low
Use the no version to disable the display.
See debug ipv6 pim.

undebug ipv6 pim

Use to turn off the display of information previously enabled with the debug ipv6 pim command.
Example
host1#undebug ipv6 pim events
There is no no version.
See undebug ipv6 pim.
