ast-hop-address
This address must be an interface address of a hop router. By default, it is a
physical interface address of the local router.
: Address of multicast group. By default, the value is 0.0.0.0.
group-address
Description
Using the
mtracert
source to the destination receiver along Multicast Distribution Tree, according to
either the multicast kernel routing table or RPF rule to the source. This command
can help to locate the faults, such as information loss and configuration error.
The trace mode to the group address of 0.0.0.0 is called weak trace mode.
Example
Trace the path reversely from the local hop router 18.110.0.1 to the multicast
source 10.10.1.2 in weak trace mode.
<SW5500>mtracert 10.10.1.2
Type Ctrl+C to abort
Mtrace from 10.10.1.2 to 18.110.0.1 via RPF
