View Remote IPv6 Unicast FIB

In SPBM, each node has a System ID, which also serves as Backbone MAC address (BMAC) of the switch. The system populates these Backbone MAC addresses into the SPBM VLAN Forwarding Information Base (FIB). When the system discovers a network topology and stores it in the IS-IS link-state database, each node calculates shortest path trees for each source node, so that a unicast path now exists from every node to every other node. With this information, each node populates unicast information that it receives from SPBM into the FIB for forwarding purposes.

I-SIDs are only used for virtual services (Layer 2 VSNs and Layer 3 VSNs). If you only enable IP Shortcuts on the Backbone Edge Bridges, I-SIDs are not exchanged in the network as IP Shortcuts allows for Global Routing Table (GRT) IP networks to be transported across IS-IS.

About this task

Perform this procedure to display the remote IPv6 unicast FIB. You can view the IPv6 routes from remote Backbone Edge Bridges (BEBs).

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Fabric.
  2. Select SPBM Remote.
  3. Select the IPv6 Unicast FIB tab.
  4. Optional: Select the Filter button to filter the rows on basis of specific criteria.
