View Remote Multicast FIB

In SPBM, the IS-IS link-state database carries the B-MAC addresses. To do this, SPBM supports an IS-IS TLV that advertises the I-SID and B-MAC information across the network. Each node has a System ID, which also serves as Backbone MAC address (B-MAC) 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.

The system produces the remote multicast FIB only after you configure the virtual services and the system learns them.
