Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2.(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
Network administrators use static mroutes to control the reach-ability of the multicast sources. If a
PIM-registered multicast source is reachable using static mroute as well as unicast route, the distance of
each route is examined and the route with shorter distance is the one the PIM selects for reach-ability.
NOTE: The default distance of mroutes is zero (0) and is CLI configurable on a per route basis.
Example
