Configuring Mstat Run Page

Use this screen to initiate an mstat command on the router. You can use the mstat command to see the hop-by-hop path taken by packets from a given multicast source to the destination. It also gives you information regarding packet rate and packet loss on the path.

Configurable Data

Source IP - Enter the IP address of the multicast-capable source. This is the unicast address of the beginning of the path to be traced.

Group IP - Enter the multicast address of the group to be traced. If you leave this field blank, the multicast address 224.2.0.1 will be used. Valid addresses are 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255.

Command Buttons

Submit - Initiate the mstat command on the router. If the mstat command completes successfully the browser will display the Mstat Show screen. If the mstat command fails, you will see the Mstat Run screen again.
