Table  describes the significant fields shown in the output.
Table  show ip mroute Field Descriptions 
Field
Description
Flags:
Provides information about the entry.
 D - Dense
Entry is operating in dense mode.
 S - Sparse
Entry is operating in sparse mode.
 C - Connected
A member of the multicast group is present on the directly connected interface.
 L - Local
The router itself is a member of the multicast group.
 P - Pruned
Route has been pruned. The Cisco IOS software keeps this information in case a downstream member wants to join the source.
    R - RP-bit set
Indicates that the (S, G) entry is pointing toward the rendezvous point (RP). The RP is typically a prune state along the shared tree for a particular source.
    F - Register flag
Indicates that the software is registering for a multicast source.
    T - SPT-bit set 
Indicates that packets have been received on the shortest path source tree.
    H - Hardware switched
Indicates the outgoing interface is hardware switched because IP multicast MLS is enabled.
Timers:
Uptime/Expires.
Interface state:
Indicates the state of the incoming or outgoing interface.
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/i/templates/blank.gifInterface. Indicates the type and number of the interface listed in the incoming or outgoing interface list.
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/i/templates/blank.gifNext-Hop or VCD. "Next-hop" specifies the IP address of the downstream neighbor. "VCD" specifies the virtual circuit descriptor number. "VCD0" means the group is using the static map virtual circuit.
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/i/templates/blank.gifState/Mode. "State" indicates that packets will either be forwarded, pruned, or null on the interface depending on whether there are restrictions due to access lists or a time-to-live (TTL) threshold. "Mode" indicates whether the interface is operating in dense, sparse, or sparse-dense mode
(*, 224.0.255.1)
(198.92.37.100/32, 224.0.255.1)
Entry in the IP multicast routing table. The entry consists of the IP address of the source router followed by the IP address of the multicast group. An asterisk (*) in place of the source router indicates all sources.
Entries in the first format are referred to as (*, G) or "star comma G" entries. Entries in the second format are referred to as (S, G) or "S comma G" entries. (*, G) entries are used to build (S, G) entries.
uptime
How long (in hours, minutes, and seconds) the entry has been in the IP multicast routing table.
expires
How long (in hours, minutes, and seconds) until the entry will be removed from the IP multicast routing table on the outgoing interface.
RP
Address of the rendezvous point router. For routers and access servers operating in sparse mode, this address is always 0.0.0.0.
flags:
Information about the entry.
Incoming interface:
Expected interface for a multicast packet from the source. If the packet is not received on this interface, it is discarded.
RPF neighbor
IP address of the upstream router to the source. "Tunneling" indicates that this router is sending data to the rendezvous point encapsulated in Register packets. The hexadecimal number in parentheses indicates to which rendezvous point it is registering. Each bit indicates a different rendezvous point if multiple rendezvous points per group are used.
Dvmrp or Mroute
Indicates whether the RPF information is obtained from the DVMRP routing table or the static mroutes configuration.
Outgoing interface list:
Interfaces through which packets will be forwarded. When the ip pim nbma-mode command is enabled on the interface, the IP address of the PIM neighbor is also displayed.
 Ethernet0
Name and number of the outgoing interface.
    Next hop or VCD
Next hop specifies the IP address of the downstream neighbors. VCD is the virtual circuit descriptor number. VCD0 means the group is using the static-map virtual circuit.
 Forward/Dense
Indicates that packets will be forwarded on the interface if there are no restrictions due to access lists or TTL threshold. Following the slash (/) is the mode in which the interface is operating (dense or sparse).
    Forward/Sparse
Sparse mode interface is in forward mode.
 <time/time>
    (uptime/expiration time)
Per interface, how long (in hours, minutes, and seconds) the entry has been in the IP multicast routing table. Following the slash (/) is how long (in hours, minutes, and seconds) until the entry will be removed from the IP multicast routing table.
