49 IPv6 PIM sparse This display shows the following information. This field... Total number of Groups Group Ports Displays... Lists the total number of IPv6 multicast groups the BigIron RX is forwarding. NOTE: This list can include groups that are not IPv6 PIM Sparse groups. If interfaces on the BigIron RX are configured for regular Ipv6 PIM (dense mode) or DVMRP, these groups are listed too. The multicast group address The BigIron RX ports connected to the receivers of the groups. Displaying BSR information BigIron RX#show ipv6 pim bsr PIMv2 Bootstrap information This system is the elected Bootstrap Router (BSR) BSR address: 2001:3e8:255:255::17 Uptime: 00:12:09, BSR priority: 0, Hash mask length: 126 Next bootstrap message in 00:00:30 Next Candidate-RP-advertisment in 00:00:30 RP: 2001:3e8:255:255::17 group prefixes: ff00:: / 8 Candidate-RP-advertisement period: 60 BigIron RX# This example show information displayed on a BigIron RX that has been elected as the BSR. The following example shows information displayed on a BigIron RX that is not the BSR. Notice that some fields shown in the example above do not appear in the example below. BigIron RX>show ipv6 pim bsr PIMv2 Bootstrap information BSR address = 2001:3e8:255:255::17 BSR priority = 0 BigIron RX> Syntax: show ipv6 pim bsr. This display shows the following information. This field... BSR address Uptime BSR priority Displays... The IPv6 address of the interface configured as the IPv6 PIM Sparse Bootstrap Router (BSR). The amount of time the BSR has been running. NOTE: This field appears only if this BigIron RX is the BSR. The priority assigned to the interface for use during the BSR election process. During BSR election, the priorities of the candidate BSRs are compared and the interface with the highest BSR priority becomes the BSR. 1252 BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide 53-1001810-01
