Output Fields

Table 1 describes the output fields for the show multicast rpf command. Output fields are listed in the approximate order in which they appear.

Table 1: show multicast rpf Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Instance

Name of the routing instance. (Displayed when multicast is configured within a routing instance.)

Source prefix

Prefix and length of the source as it exists in the multicast forwarding table.

Protocol

How the route was learned.

Interface

Upstream RPF interface.

Note: The displayed interface information does not apply to bidirectional PIM RP addresses. This is because the show multicast rpf command does not take into account equal-cost paths or the designated forwarder. For accurate upstream RPF interface information, always use the show pim join extensive command when bidirectional PIM is configured.

Neighbor

Upstream RPF neighbor.

Note: The displayed neighbor information does not apply to bidirectional PIM. This is because the show multicast rpf command does not take into account equal-cost paths or the designated forwarder. For accurate upstream RPF neighbor information, always use the show pim join extensive command when bidirectional PIM is configured.
