Display the Multicast FIB

About this task

In SPBM, B-MAC addresses are carried within the IS-IS link-state database. 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. These Backbone MAC addresses are populated into the SPBM VLAN Forwarding Information Base (FIB).

When the network topology is discovered and stored 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 received from SPBM into the FIB for forwarding purposes.

The multicast FIB is not produced until virtual services are configured and learned.

Procedure

  1. Enter Privileged EXEC mode:

    enable

  2. Display the SPBM multicast FIB:

    show isis spbm multicast-fib [vlan <1-4059>] [i-sid <1–16777215>] [nick-name <x.xx.xx>] [summary]

Example

Switch#show isis spbm multicast-fib
