Chapter 39 Static Multicast Routing Commands

Multicast routing table uses the RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) mechanism to determine the
upstream and downstream neighbors basing on the unicast route and the static multicast route.
The RPF feature checks the multicast routing entries and ensures the correct forwarding paths of
the multicast packets. Static multicast routing entry works to change or to connect the RPF routes,
and provides important basis for the RPF check.

ip mroute

Description
The ip mroute command is used to add or modify the static multicast routing
entries. To delete the specified entry, please use no ip mroute command.
Syntax
ip mroute { source-address } {mask} { rpf-address } [ distance ]
no ip mroute { source-address} { mask }
Parameter
source-address
192.168.0.1.
mask
rpf-address
distance
ranging from 0 to 255. If the value of the static multicast routing entry is smaller
than that of other RPF entries, then the static multicast routing entry will take
effect. The default value is 0.
Command Mode
Global Configuration Mode
Example
Add a static multicast routing entry with the source address as 192.168.0.1,
mask as 255.255.255.255, rpf-address as 192.168.1.1 and distance as 1:
T3700G-28TQ(config)#ip mroute 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1 1
—— The IP address of the multicast source, in the format as
—— The mask of the multicast source IP address.
— — The interface of the specified RPF entry.
— — The managing parameter of the static multicast routing entry,
