Verifying IP Multicast Layer 3 Hardware Switching Summary
Note
The
show interface statistics
command does not verify hardware-switched packets, only packets
switched by software.
The
show ip pim interface count
command verifies the IP multicast Layer 3 switching enable state on
IP PIM interfaces and verifies the number of packets received and sent on the interface.
Use the following
show
commands to verify IP multicast Layer 3 switching information for an IP PIM
Layer 3 interface.
Step 1
Router#
show ip pim interface count
State:* - Fast Switched, D - Distributed Fast Switched
H - Hardware Switching Enabled
Address Interface FS Mpackets In/Out
10.0.0.1 VLAN1 * 151/0
Router#
Step 2
Router#
show ip mroute count
IP Multicast Statistics
5 routes using 2728 bytes of memory
4 groups, 0.25 average sources per group
Forwarding Counts:Pkt Count/Pkts per second/Avg Pkt Size/Kilobits per second
Other counts:Total/RPF failed/Other drops(OIF-null, rate-limit etc)
Group:209.165.200.225 Source count:1, Packets forwarded: 0, Packets received: 66
Source:10.0.0.2/32, Forwarding:0/0/0/0, Other:66/0/66
Group:209.165.200.226, Source count:0, Packets forwarded: 0, Packets received: 0
Group:209.165.200.227, Source count:0, Packets forwarded: 0, Packets received: 0
Group:209.165.200.228, Source count:0, Packets forwarded: 0, Packets received: 0
Router#
Note
A negative counter means that the outgoing interface list of the corresponding entry is NULL, and this
indicates that this flow is still active.
Step 3
Router#
show ip interface vlan 1
Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up
