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.
