    View the Multicast Route Table

    Learn how to view the multicast route table in Prisma SD-WAN. The multicast route table entries indicate how multicast traffic is routed to hosts in the network.
    Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
    • Prisma SD-WAN (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
    • Prisma SD-WAN
    The multicast route table entries indicate how multicast traffic is routed to hosts in the network. You can view the multicast route table either through the device configuration or through View Routing Statistics. View the LAN multicast route table for branch ION devices running version 5.6.1 or higher. View the WAN multicast route table for branch and data center ION devices running version 6.0.1 or higher.

        The field descriptions in the multicast route table are based on the PIM-SM protocol outlined in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2362.
        FieldDescription
        SourceDisplays the source address of multicast traffic in the network.
        GroupDisplays the multicast group address.
        RP AddressDisplays the address of the Rendezvous Point (RP) in the network.
        Am I RP?Indicates if the interface or router is configured as an RP in the network. Available only for devices running versions higher than 5.6.1 but lower than 6.0.1.
        Flags For device versions lower than 6.0.1
        • RP—Indicates Join/Prune messages propagated towards a shared RP tree.
        • WC—Indicates a Wild card entry (*, G).
        • SPT—Indicates Join/Prune messages propagated towards a source.
        • NEW—Indicates a new route entry.
        • CACHE—Indicates an entry cached in the kernel.
        • NULL—Indicates that information received should not be forwarded.
        Flags For device versions 6.0.1 and higher
        • S: Sparse—Indicates that PIM Sparse mode is in use.
        • C: Connected—Indicates that a multicast receiver is directly connected to the branch ION device.
        • P: Pruned—Indicates Join/Prune messages propagated towards a source.
        • R: SGRpt Pruned—Indicates that traffic is being forwarded using the RP tree.
        • F: Register Flag—Indicates the traffic is arriving and set on a (*, G).
        • T: SPT—bit set—Indicates that at least one packet was received via the SPT.
        Incoming InterfaceIndicates the interface on which multicast traffic is received.
        Outgoing InterfacesIndicates the interfaces on which multicast traffic needs to be replicated.
