Neighbor
The IP address of the upstream multicast router interface (VLAN) from which the multicast traffic is coming. A
blank field for a given multicast group indicates that the multicast server is directly connected to the router.
VLAN
The interface on which the router received the multicast flow.
The following examples display the
show ip mroute
output illustrating three different cases:
Showing source-DR PIM router
Source-DR PIM router. A flow's
Neighbor
field is not empty for a PIM Router with a directly connected source.
switch# sh ip pim mroute
IP Multicast Route Entry
Group Address : 226.94.2.2
Source Address : 70.70.70.10
Neighbor : 70.70.70.10
VLAN : 70
Up Time (sec) : 72
Expire Time (sec) : 292
Multicast Routing Protocol : PIM-SM
Unicast Routing Protocol : connected
Showing intermediate PIM router
Flows show their adjacent PIM neighbor towards the source.

Showing new RP special case
RP special case: When run on a RP, registered but non-forwarding flows are displayed without a neighbor value.
This is identical in appearance to a direct-connected source, but on an RP this indicates the unique registered,
non-forwarding condition.
