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.
