Release Information

Command introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

Display trace information about an IP multicast path from a source to this router. If a group address is given, additional information, such as packet rates and losses, can be gathered.

Options

source source — Source hostname or address.

brief | detail — (Optional) Display the specified level of output.

extra-hops extra-hops — (Optional) Number of hops to take after reaching a nonresponsive router. The range of values is 0 through 255.

group group — (Optional) Group address for which to trace the path. The default group address is 0.0.0.0.

interval interval — (Optional) Number of seconds to wait before gathering statistics again. The default value is 10 seconds.

loop — (Optional) Loop indefinitely, displaying rate and loss statistics.

max-hops max-hops — (Optional) Maximum hops to trace toward source. The range of values is 0 through 255. The default value is 32 hops.

max-queries max-queries — (Optional) Maximum number of query attempts for any hop. The range of values is 1 through 32. The default is 3.

multicast-response — (Optional) Always request the response using multicast.

no-resolve — (Optional) Do not attempt to display addresses symbolically.

no-router-alert — (Optional) Do not use the router-alert IP option.

response response — (Optional) Send trace response to a host or multicast address.

routing-instance routing-instance-name — (Optional) Trace a particular routing instance.

ttl ttl — (Optional) IP time-to-live (TTL) value. The range of values is 0 through 255. Local queries to the multicast group use a value of 1. Otherwise, the default value is 127.

unicast-response — (Optional) Always request the response using unicast.

wait-time wait-time — (Optional) Number of seconds to wait for a response. The default value is 3.
