4.7.4.6 Mtrace Run
Figure 4-6-73 Mtrace Run
Use this screen to initiate an mtrace command on the router. You can use the mtrace command trace the path from the source
to a destination branch for a multicast distribution tree.
Configurable Data
o Source Address - Enter the IP address of a multicast-capable source. This is the unicast address of the beginning
of the path to be traced.
o Receiver Address - Enter the IP address of the host to which the mtrace response will be sent by the last hop router.
If you leave this field blank, mtrace will use the IP address of the router interface through which the mtrace will be
sent.
o Group Address - Enter the Multicast address of the group to be traced. If you do not enter a valid address, multicast
address 224.2.0.1 will be used. Valid addresses are 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255.
Command Buttons
o Submit - Initiate the mtrace command on the router. If the mtrace command completes successfully the browser will
display the Mtrace Show screen. If the mtrace command fails, you will see the Mtrace Run screen again.
