show multicast next-hops

Syntax

Syntax (EX Series Switch and the QFX Series)

Description

Display the entries in the IP multicast next-hop table.

Options

none

Display standard information about all entries in the multicast next-hop table for all supported address families.

brief | detail | terse

(Optional) Display the specified level of output. Use terse to display the total number of outgoing interfaces (as opposed to listing them) When you include the detail option on M Series and T Series routers and EX Series switches, the downstream interface name includes the next-hop ID number in parentheses, in the form fe-0/1/2.0-(1048574), where 1048574 is the next-hop ID number.

Starting in Junos OS release 16.1, the show multicast next-hops statement shows the hierarchical next hops contained in the top-level next hop.

identifier-number

(Optional) Show a particular next hop by ID number. The range of values is 1 through 65,535.

inet | inet6

(Optional) Display entries for IPv4 or IPv6 family addresses, respectively.

logical-system (all | logical-system-name)

(Optional) Perform this operation on all logical systems or on a particular logical system.

Required Privilege Level

Table 1 describes the output fields for the show multicast next-hops command. Output fields are listed in the approximate order in which they appear.

Table 1: show multicast next-hops Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Family

Protocol family (such as INET).

ID

Next-hop identifier of the prefix. The identifier is returned by the routing device's Packet Forwarding Engine.

Refcount

Number of cache entries that are using this next hop.

KRefcount

Kernel reference count for the next hop.

Downstream interface

Interface names associated with each multicast next-hop ID.

Incoming interface list

List of interfaces that accept incoming traffic. Only shown for routes that do not use strict RPF-based forwarding, for example for bidirectional PIM.

Sample Output

show multicast next-hops

show multicast next-hops (Ingress Router, Multipoint LDP Inband Signaling for Point-to-Multipoint LSPs)

show multicast next-hops (Egress Router, Multipoint LDP Inband Signaling for Point-to-Multipoint LSPs)

show multicast next-hops (Bidirectional PIM)

show multicast next-hops brief

The output for the show multicast next-hops brief command is identical to that for the show multicast next-hops command. For sample output, see show multicast next-hops.

show multicast next-hops detail

show multicast next-hops detail (PIM using point-to-multipoint mode)
