Table 1: show pim neighbors Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Level of Output

Instance

Name of the routing instance.

All levels

Interface

Interface through which the neighbor is reachable.

All levels

Neighbor addr

Address of the neighboring PIM routing device.

All levels

IP

IP version: 4 or 6.

All levels

V

PIM version running on the neighbor: 1 or 2.

All levels

Mode

PIM mode of the neighbor: Sparse, Dense, SparseDense, or Unknown. When the neighbor is running PIM version 2, this mode is always Unknown.

All levels

Option

Can be one or more of the following:

  • B—Bidirectional Capable.
  • H—Hello Option Holdtime.
  • G—Generation Identifier.
  • P—Hello Option DR Priority.
  • L—Hello Option LAN Prune Delay.

brief none

Uptime

Time the neighbor has been operational since the PIM process was last initialized, in the format dd:hh:mm:ss ago for less than a week and nwnd:hh:mm:ss ago for more than a week.

All levels

Address

Address of the neighboring PIM router.

detail

BFD

Status and operational state of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol on the interface: Enabled, Operational state is up, or Disabled.

detail

Hello Option Holdtime

Time for which the neighbor is available, in seconds. The range of values is 0 through 65,535.

detail

Hello Default Holdtime

Default holdtime and the time remaining if the holdtime option is not in the received hello message.

detail

Hello Option DR Priority

Designated router election priority. The range of values is 0 through 255.

detail

Hello Option Generation ID

9-digit or 10-digit number used to tag hello messages.

detail

Hello Option Bi-Directional PIM supported

Neighbor can process bidirectional PIM messages.

detail

Hello Option LAN Prune Delay

Time to wait before the neighbor receives prune messages, in the format delay nnn ms override nnnn ms.

detail

Join Suppression supported

Neighbor is capable of join suppression.

detail

Rx Join

Information about joins received from the neighbor.

  • Group—Group addresses in the join message.
  • Source—Address of the source in the join message.
  • Timeout—Time for which the join is valid.
