Assume that Host A needs to receive information addressed to IPv6 multicast group G FF0E::100. The RP
corresponding to the multicast group G is Router D as result of hash calculation, so an RPT will be built
between Router A and Router D. When the multicast source S 4001::100/64 registers with the RP, an SPT
will be built between Router D and the firewall. After receiving IPv6 multicast data, Router A immediately
switches from the RPT to the SPT. The routers on the RPT path (Router A and Router D) have a (*, G) entry,
and Router A and the firewall on the SPT path have an (S, G) entry. You can use the display pim ipv6
routing-table command to display PIM routing table information on the routers. For example:
# Display IPv6 PIM multicast routing table information on Router A.
[RouterA] display pim ipv6 routing-table
Total 1 (*, G) entry; 1 (S, G) entry
