Description: The number of times this device has been elected DR or DF on any interface.
Elections occur frequently on newly-active interfaces, as triggered Hellos establish adjacencies. This counter is not incremented for elections on an interface until the first periodic Hello has been sent. If this router is the DR or DF at the time of sending the first periodic Hello after interface activation, then this counter is incremented (once) at that time.
Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, for example, when the device is rebooted.
What is pimInterfaceElectionWinCount?
This counter records how many times the device has been elected as Designated Router (DR) or Designated Forwarder (DF) across all interfaces. Elections occur when PIM adjacencies form. An operator monitors this to understand the device's role in multicast routing topology.
