6.21 Configuring the NQA MTrace Test to Check the RPF
Path from the Multicast Source to the Querier
This section describes how to configure a Multicast Traceroute (MTrace) test to check the
Reserved Path Forwarding (RPF) path from the multicast source to the querier.

6.21.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring an MTrace test for the RPF path from the multicast source to the querier,
familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and
obtain the required data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and
accurately.
Applicable Environment
To check the Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) path from the multicast source to the querier, you
can perform the NQA MTrace test.
By performing the MTrace test, you can obtain the possible transmission path of multicast
packets. During the test, actual multicast data flows are not required.
The MTrace test can be used in multicast troubleshooting and routine maintenance to locate the
faulty nodes and reduce configuration errors.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the MTrace test, you must enable the multicast function in the network.
