mrd6sh is a tool that along with builtin telnet support allow one to interactively configure and obtain information from MRD6. The following consists of a brief list of the most important commands. Please note that most commands may be called by the least common command prefix, for instance, 'sho gr' may be used instead of 'show group'. $ mrd6sh show group [] Display all group information, including possible MLD and PIM information related to a particular group. A group address may be supplied to obtain information about a single group only. $ mrd6sh show group detail Outputs extra information related to group interfaces, in MLD's case it outputs the full Multicast Filter, Source timers and particular listener interest. $ mrd6sh show mfa counters Displays per-group and per-source state 60 second average forwarding statistics. $ mrd6sh show interface [ [extended]] Displays all interface information, including PIM info such as known neighbours and MLD information (Querier, etc). An interface name may be supplied to obtain information about that interface only. If the parameter 'extended' is used for a particular interface, also outputs extra PIM information such as neighbour upstream Join/Prune info. $ mrd6sh show mrib Outputs the current contents of the Multicast Routing Information base. $ mrd6sh show rpf
Matches MRIB prefix information (possibly including output interface and nexthop address) for the supplied address. This command can be used to check what information is MRD6 using to route towards a particular source. $ mrd6sh log attach default \"mrd.log\" all Changes mrd.log's log level to All. Use this whenever you find odd behaviour as it triggers the logging of all signaling information, state changes, etc. You should use your log file name instead of mrd.log if you use a different one. $ mrd6sh show version Important information that should be supplied while reporting bugs :-) -- In case you are using the BGP module, the following command is also of interest. $ mrd6sh show bgp Outputs current BGP neighbour state, including filter match statistics, current BGP state machine state, uptime, etc.
