Hello All,

The CLI command 'show ip rib <unicast addr> is in pim_cmd.c which invokes zebra lookup for nexthops and return the first available path to user.

Ideally the command is for PIMd (Zebra Client for nexthop info).

I would like to propose to change to CLI to specific to PIMd 'show ip pim rib <uincat addr> rather generic than "ip rib" term.

Please share your opinion.

Kind Regards,

Chirag Shah

P.S. :

Cli implementation from pim_cli.c
