MRM - Multicast Routing Monitor

A tool designed to notify network admin of any multicast routing problems.

There are 3 components to MRM
-Manager
-Sender
-Receiver

The configuration is laid out on the doc cd under 'Using IP Multicast Tools'(well apart from the fact it neglects to inform you how to start the test!)

I implement MRM on the same topology used in the previous MSDP post.

The test sender is on R1

R1
int s1/0
ip mrm test-sender


R2
access-list 1 permit 10.0.0.1
access-list 2 permit 150.50.5.69
ip mrm manager test1
manager fa0/0 group 239.1.1.1
senders 1
receivers 2 sender-list 1



R4
int s1/0
ip mrm test-receiver




And so to the crucial piece of config NOT on the doc cd.
On R2 the manager

mrm test1 start
