Verifying mrouted Operation
You can use one or more of the following methods to verify mrouted operation:
•Retrieve the virtual interface table and the multicast routing table to verify if appropriate virtual interfaces (vifs) are configured. See “Displaying mrouted Routing Tables” on page 38 for information on retrieving these tables.
•Retrieve the routing cache table to verify if the routing and cache information is appropriate for your configuration of mrouted. See “Displaying mrouted Routing Tables” on page 38 for information on retrieving this table.
•Examine the syslog file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for warning and error messages that indicate the status of mrouted. Upon startup, mrouted logs a startup message in the syslog file that indicates the mrouted version number, such as mrouted version 3.8.
•Issue the following ps (process status) command to search for the string “mrouted”, using grep, to determine if the mrouted program is running:
