clear pim cache

clear pim {ipv4 | ipv6} cache {group_addr {source_addr}}

Description

Clears PIM multicast cache table.

Syntax Description


ipv4	Specifies an IPv4 address.
ipv6	Specifies an IPv6 address.
`group_addr`	Specifies a group address.
`source_addr`	Specifies a source IP address.

Default

If no options are specified, all PIM cache entries are flushed.

Usage Guidelines

This command can be used by network operators to manually remove IPMC software and hardware forwarding cache entries instantly. If the stream is available, caches are re-created; otherwise, caches are removed permanently. This command can disrupt the normal forwarding of multicast traffic.

Example

The following example resets the IP multicast table for group 224.1.2.3:

clear pim cache 224.1.2.3

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
