Displays IPv6 PIM traffic statistics.

show ipv6 pim traffic [ vrf vrf-name ] [ join-prune ] [ rx | tx ]
vrf vrf-name
Specifies information for a VRF instance.
join-prune
Specifies displaying join and prune statistics.
rx
Specifies displaying received PIM traffic statistics.
tx
Specifies displaying transmitted PIM traffic statistics.

Privileged EXEC mode

PIM control packet statistics for interfaces that are configured for standard PIM are listed first by the display.

The show ipv6 pim traffic command displays the following information:

Output Field

Description

Port

The port or virtual interface on which the IPv6 PIM interface is configured.

HELLO

The number of IPv6 PIM Hello messages sent or received on the interface.

JOIN-PRUNE

The number of Join or Prune messages sent or received on the interface.
Note: Unlike PIM dense, PIM Sparse uses the same messages for Joins and Prunes.

ASSERT

The number of Assert messages sent or received on the interface.

REGISTER GRAFT (DM)

The number of Register messages sent or received on the interface.

REGISTER STOP (SM)

The number of Register Stop messages sent or received on the interface.

BOOTSTRAP MSGS (SM)

The number of bootstrap messages sent or received on the interface.

CAND. RP ADV. (SM)

The total number of Candidate-RP-Advertisement messages sent or received on the interface.

Register Graft (DM)

Err

The total number of MLD messages discarded, including a separate counter for those that failed the checksum comparison.
