Multicast Routing Support Tools
This section describes various multicast routing support tools.
The mrinfo Tool
mrinfo is a multicast routing tool that requests configuration
information from mrouted and prints the information to the standard
output. By default, mrouted prints configuration information for its local
instance. You can override the default request (the local instance of
mrouted) by specifying an alternate router IP address or system name.
For more information, type man 1M mrinfo at the HP-UX command
prompt.
The map-mbone Tool
map-mbone is a multicast routing tool that requests multicast router
connection information from mrouted and prints the connection map
information to the standard output. By default (when no alternate router
address is specified), the request message is sent to all the multicast
routers on the local network. If map-mbone discovers new neighbor
routers from the replies, it sends an identical request to those routers.
This process continues till the list of new neighbors is exhausted.
For more information, type man 1M map-mbone at the HP-UX command
prompt.
The netstat Tool
You can used netstat to display multicast-related information,
including network statistics and multicast routing table contents.
For more information, type man 1M netstat at the HP-UX command
prompt.
