Understanding and Configuring IP Multicast
The following is sample output from the show ip mfib command.

The fast-switched packet count represents the number of packets that were switched in hardware on the
corresponding route.
The partially switched packet counter represents the number of times that a fast-switched packet was
also copied to the CPU for software processing or for forwarding to one or more non-platform switched
interfaces (such as a PimTunnel interface).
The slow-switched packet count represents the number of packets that were switched completely in
software on the corresponding route.
Displaying IP MFIB Fast Drop
To display fast-drop entries, perform this task:
Command
Switch# show ip mfib fastdrop
The following is sample output from the show ip mfib fastdrop command.
Switch> show ip mfib fastdrop
MFIB fastdrop is enabled.
MFIB fast-dropped flows:
(10.0.0.1, 224.1.2.3, Vlan9 ) 00:01:32
(10.1.0.2, 224.1.2.3, Vlan9 ) 00:02:30
(1.2.3.4, 225.6.7.8, Vlan3) 00:01:50
The full (S,G) flow and the ingress interface on which incoming packets are dropped is shown. The
timestamp indicates the age of the entry.

IC - Internal Copy
NP - Not platform switched
Monitoring and Maintaining IP Multicast Routing
Purpose
Displays all currently active fast-drop entries and indicates
whether fastdrop is enabled.
