Field Description
VersionString
The router's DVMRP version information.
GenerationId
Used by neighboring routers to detect whether a reset or disable/enable DVMRP action has occurred to the switch or to a particular interface. If so, the router should resend the entire multicast routing table to its neighbor immediately instead of waiting for the next scheduled update.
NumRoutes
The number of entries in the routing table. Use this
information to monitor the routing table size to detect illegal advertisements of multicast routes.

ReachableRoutes
The number of entries in the routing table with noninfinite metrics. Use this number to detect network partitions by observing the ratio of reachable routes to total routes.
