The reset multicast forwarding-table command clears the entries of the multicast forwarding table.
reset multicast [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | all-instance ] forwarding-table all
reset multicast [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | all-instance ] forwarding-table { group-address [ mask { group-mask | group-mask-length } ] | source-address [ mask { source-mask | source-mask-length } ] | incoming-interface { interface-type interface-number | register } } *
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | Specifies the VPN instance. vpn-instance-name specifies the name of the VPN instance. | The name is a string of 1 to 31 characters. |
| all-instance | Indicates all the instances. | - |
| all | Indicates all forwarding entries of multicast forwarding tables. | - |
| group-address | Specifies the address of a multicast group. | The address is in dotted decimal notation and ranges from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. |
| mask | Specifies the mask of a multicast group address or source address. | - |
| group-mask | Specifies the address mask of a multicast group. | The address mask is in dotted decimal notation. |
| group-mask-length | Specifies the mask length of a multicast group address. | The value is an integer that ranges from 4 to 32. |
| source-address | Specifies the address of a multicast source. | The address is in dotted decimal notation. |
| source-mask | Specifies the address mask of a multicast source. | The address mask is in dotted decimal notation. |
| source-mask-length | Specifies the mask length of a multicast source address. | The value is an integer that ranges from 0 to 32. |
| incoming-interface | Indicates the upstream interface of the forwarding entry. | - |
| interface-type interface-number | Specifies the type and the number of an interface, used to specify an interface. | - |
| register | Indicates the register interface in PIM-SM. | - |
When the reset multicast forwarding-table command used, the following situations occur:
If vpn-instance or all-instance is not specified, only the forwarding entries of the public network instance are deleted.
If group-address is specified, only the forwarding entries to which the group corresponds are deleted.
If the source-address is specified, only the forwarding entries to which the multicast source corresponds are deleted.
The order of group-address and source-address can be reversed. Ensure that group-address and source-address must be valid.
If incoming-interface interface-type interface-number is specified, only the forwarding entries of a specified upstream interface are deleted.
If incoming-interface register is specified, only the forwarding entries of the register interfaces among the upstream interfaces are deleted.
