Next Hop field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Next Hop tab.

Name

Description

Group

Displays the IPv6 multicast group for this entry that specifies a next hop on an outgoing interface.

Source

Displays the network address that, when combined with the corresponding next hop SourceMask value, identifies the source for this entry that specifies a next hop on an outgoing interface.

SourceMask

Displays the network mask that, when combined with the corresponding next hop Source value, identifies the source for this entry that specifies a next hop on an outgoing interface.

IfIndex

Displays the slot and port number or VLAN ID for this entry.

Address

Displays the address of the next hop specific to this entry. For most interfaces, it is identical to the next-hop group. Non Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) interfaces, however, can use multiple next hop addresses out of a single outgoing interface.

State

Displays whether the outgoing interface and next hop represented by this entry currently forward IPv6 datagrams. A value of forwarding indicates the information is currently used; pruned indicates it is not used.

ExpiryTime

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

ClosestMemberHops

Displays the minimum number of hops between this router and members of the IPv6 multicast group reached through the next hop on this outgoing interface. IPv6 multicast datagrams for the group that use a time-to-live less than this number of hops are not forwarded to the next hop.

Protocol

Displays the protocol as one of the following:
  • other(1): none of the following

  • local(2): manually configured

  • netmgmt(3): configured by a network management protocol

  • pimSparseMode(8): PIM-SMv2

  • igmpOnly(10)

  • pimSsmMode(11)

  • spb
