routeDisplay

For CoreBuilder 9000: Applies to Layer 3 switching modules only.

Displays IP multicast route information that your system has learned from
using the Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP). The
system uses this information to forward IP multicast traffic that it receives.

Fields in the IP Multicast DVMRP Route Display

Field

Description

Origin

IP address of the subnetwork that contains an IP multicast
source, followed by a forward slash and subnetwork
mask.

Gateway

IP address of the routing interface that lies upstream of
the local system on the path back towards an IP multicast
source. If the source subnetwork is connected directly to
your system, this field contains a dash (--).

Metric

Number of hops from your system back to the origin
subnetwork. This value is not the DVMRP interface or
tunnel metric, which are shown under

Metric

in other

displays.

Occasionally, instead of a numeric value, you may see

NR

,

meaning “network unreachable.” Your system may have
trouble computing the hop count because of factors such
as an upstream router being temporarily congested. This
condition is usually resolved in a short period of time.

Tmr

Amount of time (in seconds) since each entry was last
reset.

Parent

The interface that connects to the upstream router
(Gateway). Because DVMRP forms a loopless spanning
tree to reach all hosts for a given IP multicast group, your
system always chooses a single parent interface. Either an

I

or a

T

precedes the index number. An

I

indicates that

the index is an interface index number. A

T

indicates that

the index is a tunnel index number.

Children

Interfaces that communicate with downstream routers or
local subnetworks. The system forwards incoming IP
multicast traffic through these interfaces. Either an

I

or a

T

precedes each index number. An

I

precedes an

interface index number. A

T

precedes a tunnel index

number.
