Pruned
The routing switch has not detected any joins from the current multicast flow and is not currently
forwarding datagrams in the current VLAN.
Forwarding
The routing switch has received a join for the current multicast flow and is forwarding datagrams in the
current VLAN.
Up Time (Sec)
The natural state of a downstream interface in PIM-DM is to forward multicast flows and DM will flood a new
flow out all interfaces on a router where there are connected PIM-DM neighbors and/or joined hosts. If there
are ultimately no receivers for the flow downstream, the flow will be pruned back to the originator router. This
prune state is maintained on all PIM-DM routers by state refresh message sends by the originator and
corresponding prune replies from downstream routers. However if a prune reply is not received (i.e. there is
now a receiver), expire time indicates how long before the interface will return to a forwarding state.
