mrinfo(8)
NAME
mrinfo - display configuration info from a multicast router
SYNOPSIS
mrinfo [-d debug_level] [-r retry_count] [-t timeout_count] multicast_router
DESCRIPTION
- The mrinfo utility attempts to display the configuration in
- formation from
the multicast router multicast_router. - The mrinfo utility uses the ASK_NEIGHBORS IGMP message to
- the specified
multicast router. If this multicast router responds, the - version number
and a list of their neighboring multicast router addresses - is part of
that response. If the responding router has a recent multi - cast version
number, then mrinfo requests additional information such as - metrics,
thresholds, and flags from the multicast router. Once the - specified multicast router responds, the configuration is displayed to
- the standard
output. - The following options are available:
- -d debug_level
- Set the debug level. When the debug level is
- greater than the
default value of 0, addition debugging messages are - printed.
Regardless of the debug level, an error condition, - will always
write an error message and will cause mrinfo to ter - minate. Nonzero debug levels have the following effects:
- level 1
packet warnings are printed to stderr.
- level 2
- all level 1 messages plus notifications down
- networks are
printed to stderr. - level 3
- all level 2 messages plus notifications of
- all packet
timeouts are printed to stderr. - -r retry_count
- Set the neighbor query retry limit. Default is 3
- retries.
- -t timeout_count
- Set the number of seconds to wait for a neighbor
- query reply.
Default timeout is 4 seconds.
SAMPLE OUTPUT
- $ mrinfo mbone.phony.dom.net
127.148.176.10 (mbone.phony.dom.net) [version 3.3]: - 127.148.176.10 -> 0.0.0.0 (?) [1/1/querier]
127.148.176.10 -> 127.0.8.4 (mbone2.phony.dom.net) - [1/45/tunnel]
127.148.176.10 -> 105.1.41.9 (momoney.com) [1/32/tun - nel/down]
127.148.176.10 -> 143.192.152.119 (mbone.dipu.edu) - [1/32/tunnel]
- For each neighbor of the queried multicast router, the IP of
- the queried
router is displayed, followed by the IP and name of the - neighbor. In
square brackets the metric (cost of connection), the thresh - old (multicast
ttl) is displayed. If the queried multicast router has a - newer version
number, the type (tunnel, srcrt) and status (disabled, down) - of the connection is displayed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The mrinfo utility must be run as root.
