mtrace

Command Mode

Privileged.

 

Description

Traces the path from a source to a destination branch for a multicast

 

distribution tree. The trace follows the multicast path from the destination to

 

the source by passing an mtrace request packet to each hop. The responses

 

are unicast to the querying router by the first hop router to the source. The

 

mtrace command is helpful in isolating multicast routing failures.

Syntax

mtrace <source> [<destination>] [<group>]
