Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The display pim ipv6 control-message counters message-type command is used to display the number received, sent, invalid, or filtered out IPv6 PIM control messages. This command is usually used to locate faults in IPv6 PIM, for example:

If a PIM neighbor relationship cannot be set up, run this command on two ends to check whether they can normally send or receive Hello messages.
If (*, G) or (S, G) entries cannot be generated, run this command on an upstream or downstream device to check whether the device can normally send or receive Join/Prune messages.
On live networks, check the number of PIM messages of a specific type based on fault symptoms.

Precautions

If no interface is specified, the number of sent and received IPv6 PIM control messages on all interfaces is displayed.

Example

The actual command output varies according to the device. The command output here is only an example.
