Displaying IPv6 PIM inteface information
You also can display IPv6 multicast interface information using the show ipv6 pim interface 
command.

Global PIM sparse mode settings
Hello interval
How frequently the device sends IPv6 PIM Sparse hello messages to its IPv6 
PIM Sparse neighbors. This field show the number of seconds between hello 
messages. IPv6 PIM Sparse routers use hello messages to discover one 
another.
Neighbor timeout
How many seconds the device will wait for a hello message from a neighbor 
before determining that the neighbor is no longer present and removing 
cached IPv6 PIM Sparse forwarding entries for the neighbor.
Bootstrap Msg interval
How frequently the BSR configured on the device sends the RP set to the RPs 
within the IPv6 PIM Sparse domain. The RP set is a list of candidate RPs and 
their group prefixes. A candidate RP’s group prefix indicates the range of IPv6 
PIM Sparse group numbers for which it can be an RP.
NOTE: This field contains a value only if an interface on the device is elected 
to be the BSR. Otherwise, the field is blank.
Candidate-RP Advertisement 
interval
How frequently the candidate PR configured on the device sends candidate RP 
advertisement messages to the BSR.
NOTE: This field contains a value only if an interface on the device is 
configured as a candidate RP. Otherwise, the field is blank.
Join/Prune interval
How frequently the device sends IPv6 PIM Sparse Join/Prune messages for the 
multicast groups it is forwarding. This field show the number of seconds 
between Join/Prune messages.
The device sends Join/Prune messages on behalf of multicast receivers who 
want to join or leave an IPv6 PIM Sparse group. When forwarding packets from 
IPv6 PIM Sparse sources, the device sends the packets only on the interfaces 
on which it has received join requests in Join/Prune messages for the source’s 
group.
SPT Threshold
The number of packets the device sends using the path through the RP before 
switching to using the SPT path.
Inactivity Interval
SSM Enabled
If yes, source-specific multicast is configured globally on this router.
IPv6 PIM sparse interface information
NOTE: You also can display IPv6 multicast interface information using the show ipv6 pim interface command.
Interface
The type of interface and the interface number. The interface type can be one 
of the following:
•
Ethernet
•
VE
The number is either a port number (and slot number if applicable) or the 
virtual interface (VE) number.
TTL Threshold
Following the TTL threshold value, the interface state is listed. The interface 
state can be one of the following:
•
Disabled
•
Enabled
Local Address
Indicates the IP address configured on the port or virtual interface.
