Showing the Hardware Resource Usage

About this task

The switch can query the number of ingress and egress IP multicast streams traversing the switch. After you configure the thresholds for ingress and egress records, if the record-usage goes beyond the threshold, the device notifies you by way of a trap on the console, logged message, or both.

If you do not configure the thresholds, the switch displays only the ingress and egress records currently in use.

Procedure

To enter User EXEC mode, log on to the switch.
Show the hardware resource usage:

show ip mroute hw-resource-usage

Example

Show the hardware resource usage:

Switch:1>show ip mroute hw-resource-usage
