Using IP Multicast Tools

MRM Configuration Task List

	Command	Purpose
Step 2
	Router(config-if)#ip mrm test-sender-receiver	Configures the interface to be a Test Sender for one group
		and a Test Receiver for another group.
Step 3
	Router(config)# ip mrm accept-manager	Optionally, specifies that the Test Sender or Test Receiver
	{access-list}[test-sender test-receiver]	can accept status report requests only from Managers
		specified by the access list. By default, the command
		applies to both the Sender and Receiver. Because this
		device is both, you might need to specify that the restriction
		applies to only the Sender or only the Receiver.

Configuring a Manager

To configure a router as a Manager in order for MRM to function, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode. A host cannot be a Manager.

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	Router(config)# ip mrm manager test-name	Identifies a test by name, and places the router in manager
		configuration mode. The test name is used to start, stop,
		and monitor a test.
Step 2
	Router(config-mrm-manager)# manager type	Specifies which interface on the router is the Manager, and
	number group ip-address	specifies the multicast group address the Test Receiver will
		listen to.
Step 3
	Router(config-mrm-manager)# beacon [interval	Changes the frequency, duration, or scope of beacon
	seconds][holdtime seconds] [ttl ttl-value]	messages that the Manager sends to the Test Sender and
		Test Receiver.
Step 4
	Router(config-mrm-manager)# udp-port	Changes UDP port numbers to which the Test Sender sends
	[test-packet port-number][status-report	test packets or the Test Receiver sends status reports.
	port-number]
Step 5
	Router(config-mrm-manager)# senders	Configures Test Sender parameters.
	{access-list}[packet-delaymilliseconds] [rtp
	udp] [target-only all-multicasts
	all-test-senders]
Step 6
	Router(config-mrm-manager)# receivers	Establishes Test Receivers for MRM, specifies which Test
	{access-list}[sender-list{access-list}	Senders the Test Receivers will listen to, specifies which
	[packet-delay]] [window seconds] [report-delay	sources the Test Receivers monitor, specifies the packet
	seconds] [loss percentage] [no-join] [monitor
		delay, and changes Test Receiver parameters.
