Figure 519: Enabling IPv6 Multicast Routing

Use the Multicast > Multicast Routing > Information page or the IPv6

Multicast > Multicast Routing > Information page to display IPv4 or IPv6

information on each multicast route the switch has learned through PIM.

The router learns multicast routes from neighboring routers, and also

advertises these routes to its neighbors. The router stores entries for all

paths learned by itself or from other routers, without considering actual

group membership or prune messages. The routing table therefore does

not indicate that the router has processed multicast traffic from any

particular source listed in the table. It uses these routes to forward

multicast traffic only if group members appear on directly-attached

subnetworks or on subnetworks attached to downstream routers.

"show ipv6 mroute" on page 1923

These parameters are displayed for IPv4:

Show Summary

Group Address – IP group address for a multicast service.

Source Address – Subnetwork containing the IP multicast source.

Source Mask – Network mask for the IP multicast source. Note that

the switch cannot detect the source mask, and therefore displays

255.255.255.255 in this field. (This parameter applies to IPv4 only.)

Interface – Upstream interface leading to the upstream neighbor.

PIM creates a multicast routing tree based on the unicast routing table.

If the related unicast routing table does not exist, PIM will still create a

multicast routing entry, displaying the upstream interface to indicate

that this entry is valid. This field may also display "Register" to indicate
