Uptime

Time the neighbor has been operational since the PIM process was last initialized. Starting in Junos OS release 17.3R1, uptime is not reset during ISSU.The time format is as follows: dd:hh:mm:ss ago for less than a week and nwnd:hh:mm:ss ago for more than a week.

All levels

Address

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

detail

Hello Option DR Priority

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

detail

Hello Option Join Attribute

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.
