ip mroute
Use this command to create a multicast static route. Use the
no
form of this command to
delete the route.
Multicast static routes are unicast routes which allow multicast and unicast topologies to be
independent. These routes are used by multicast routing protocols to perform reverse-path
forwarding (RPF) checks.

Examples
The following example configures the 10.10.3.0 network address with a static multicast route to
192.168.2.2 with an administrative distance of 2:
The following example configures all specific sources within a network number to be accessible
through 10.10.10.50:

Parameter
Description
<
source-addr
/
mask-length
>
A.B.C.D/0-32
Specifies multicast source IP address and mask length.
bgp
BGP unicast routing protocol
ospf
OSPF unicast routing protocol
rip
RIP unicast routing protocol
static
specifies a static route
<
rpf-addr
>
A.B.C.D
RPF address for the multicast route. The host IP address can
be a directly connected system or a remote system. When it is a remote
system, a lookup is done from the unicast routing table to find a directly
connected system.
<
interface
>
Incoming interface name. Can only be specified for non-broadcast
interfaces.
<
distance
>
The administrative distance. Use this to determine whether the RPF
lookup selects the unicast or multicast route. Lower distances have
preference. If the multicast static route has the same distance as the other
RPF sources, the multicast static route takes precedence. Default is 0.
Range is 0-255.
