mtrace Command
Purpose
Trace multicast path between a source and a receiver
Format
mtrace <source> [destination <IPaddr>] [group <IPaddr>] [max-hops <number>]
Mode
User
Description
The mtrace command tracks the multicast path from a source to a receiver. A trace probe
is sent in a reverse path from the receiver back to the source. As the probe passes from hop
to hop, it collects information such as interface address and packet counts from each
router. If the mtrace command is executed with only the source parameter then a
multicast path is calculated from the source to the SSR. One can examine the multicast path
between two external hosts by specifying a receiver instead of using the SSR as the default
receiver.
Parameters
<source> IP address of the source.
destination <IPaddr> Destination IP address.
