Multicast route next hop

Use the show ip mroute next-hop command to show information about the next hop for the multicast routes on the switch. The syntax for this command is as follows.

show ip mroute next-hop [vrf WORD <0–16>] [vrfids <0–512>]

The following table shows the field descriptions for this command.

Table 1. show ip mroute next-hop command

Field

Description

INTERFACE

Indicates the interface identity.

GROUP

Indicates the IP multicast group for which this entry specifies a next-hop PIM neighbor toward receivers for a specific outgoing interface.

SOURCE

Indicates the network address, which when combined with the corresponding value of SRCMASK, identifies the sources for which this entry specifies a next-hop PIM neighbor toward receivers for a specific outgoing interface.

SRCMASK

Indicates the network mask, which when combined with the corresponding value of SOURCE, identifies the sources for which this entry specifies a next-hop PIM neighbor toward receivers for a specific outgoing interface.

ADDRESS

Indicates the address of the next hop specific to this entry. The next hop must be the address of a PIM neighbor. This table does not represent local receivers.

STATE

Indicates whether the outgoing interface and next hop represented by this entry currently forward IP datagrams. The value forwarding indicates the information is currently used; the value pruned indicates it is not used.

EXPTIME

Indicates the minimum amount of time that remains before this entry ages out. The value 0 indicates that the entry is not subject to aging.

CLOSEHOP

Indicates the minimum number of hops between this router and members of this IP multicast group reached through this next hop on this outgoing interface. IP multicast datagrams for the group that use a time-to-live less than this number of hops are forwarded to the next hop

PROTOCOL

Indicates the routing mechanism through which the switch learned this next hop.

L2ISID

Indicates the I-SID associated with the Layer 2 interface.
