Multicast Commands

663

mstat

Use the mstat command in Privileged EXEC mode to find the IP Multicast packet rate and loss
information path from a source to a receiver (unicast router id of the host running mstat). The
results of this command are available in the results bufferpool, displayed using the command show
mstat. Bookmark not defined. If a debug command is already in progress, a message is displayed
and the new request fails.

Syntax

mstat source [group/receiver] [group/receiver]

source—The IP address of the remote multicast-capable device.

group/receiver—Multicast IP address of the group being displayed/IP address of the
receiver device.

Default Configuration

The default value for group is 224.2.0.1. The default value for receiver is the IP address of the
device which issues the command.

Command Mode

Privileged EXEC mode

User Guidelines

Enter the group and receiver IP addresses in any order.

Example

The following example finds the IP Multicast packet rate and loss information path from a
source (IP address 10.1.1.1) to a receiver .

console(config)#mstat 10.1.1.1

mtrace

Use the mtrace command in Privileged EXEC mode to find the IP Multicast path from a source to
a receiver (unicast router ID of the host running mtrace). A trace query is passed hop-by-hop along
the reverse path from the receiver to the source, collecting hop addresses, packet counts, and
routing error conditions along the path, and then the response is returned to the requestor. The
results of this command are available in the results buffer pool which can be displayed using the
command show mtrace.

mtrace sourceipaddr [group/destination] [group/destination]

sourceipaddr—The IP address of the remote multicast-capable device.
