Verifying IP Multicast on the First Hop Router
Enter these commands on the first hop router to verify IP multicast operations on the first hop router:
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
enable
2.
show ip mroute [group-address]
3.
show ip mroute active [kb/s]
DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.enable
Step 1
Example:
Device> enable
Confirms that the F flag has been set for mroutes on the first hop
router.
show ip mroute [group-address]
Example:
Device# show ip mroute 239.1.2.3
(*, 239.1.2.3), 00:18:10/stopped, RP
Step 2
172.16.0.1, flags: SPF
Incoming interface: Serial1/0, RPF nbr
172.31.200.2
Outgoing interface list: Null
(10.0.0.1, 239.1.2.3), 00:18:10/00:03:22,
flags: FT
Incoming interface: GigabitEthernet0/0/0,
RPF nbr 0.0.0.0
Outgoing interface list:
Serial1/0, Forward/Sparse-Dense,
00:18:10/00:03:19
Displays information about active multicast sources sending to
groups. The output of this command provides information about
the multicast packet rate for active sources.
show ip mroute active [kb/s]
Example:
Device# show ip mroute active
Active IP Multicast Sources - sending >= 4
Step 3
By default, the output of the show ip mroute command
with the active keyword displays information about active
sources sending traffic to groups at a rate greater than or
equal to 4 kb/s. To display information about active
sources sending low-rate traffic to groups (that is, traffic
less than 4 kb/s), specify a value of 1 for the kb/s argument.
Specifying a value of 1 for this argument displays
information about active sources sending traffic to groups
at a rate equal to or greater than 1 kb/s, which effectively
displays information about all possible active source
traffic.
