Displaying PIM neighbor data

These commands enable listings of either all PIM neighbors the router detects or the data for a specific PIM neighbor.

Syntax:


show ip pim neighbor

Lists PIM neighbor information for all PIM neighbors connected to the router:

IP Address

Lists the IP address of a neighbor multicast router.

VLAN

Lists the VLAN through which the router connects to the indicated neighbor.

Up Time

Shows the elapsed time during which the neighbor has maintained a PIM route to the router.

Expire Time
Indicates how long before the router ages-out the current flow (group membership.) This value decrements until:
  • Reset by a state-refresh packet originating from the upstream multicast router. (The upstream multicast router issues state-refresh packets for the current group as long as it either continues to receive traffic for the current flow or receives state-refresh packets for the current flow from another upstream multicast router.

  • Reset by a new flow for the current multicast group on the VLAN.

  • The timer expires (reaches 0.) In this case, the switch has not received either a state-refresh packet or new traffic for the current multicast group and ages-out (drops) the group entry.

DR Priority

Shows the currently configured priority for DR operation on the interface.

Listing of all PIM neighbors detected

switch(config)# show ip pim neighbor
