Figure 9.8 Example multicast static routes

To add a static route to a virtual interface, enter commands such as the following:

HP9300(config)# mroute 3 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 int ve 1 distance 1

HP9300(config)# write memory

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot configure a static multicast route using the Web management interface.

Tracing a Multicast Route

The HP implementation of Mtrace is based on “A ‘traceroute’ facility for IP Multicast”, an Internet draft by S. Casner and B. Fenner. To trace a PIM route, use the following CLI method.

NOTE: This feature is not supported for DVMRP.

USING THE CLI

To trace a PIM route to PIM source 209.157.24.62 in group 239.255.162.1, enter a command such as the following:

HP9300# mtrace source 209.157.24.62 group 239.255.162.1

Type Control-c to abort
