Before configuring an MTrace test for the multicast 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.
6.22.2 Creating an NQA MTrace Test
This part describes how to configure an MTrace instance before performing the MTrace test for
the multicast path from the multicast source to the querier.
6.22.3 Configuring the NQA MTrace Test
This part describes how to set parameters for the MTrace test for the multicast path from the
multicast source to the querier.
6.22.4 (Optional) Adjusting the Performance of the NQA MTrace Test
This part describes how to set optional MTrace test parameters according to the network
operating status.
6.22.5 Starting the NQA MTrace Test
This part describes how to start the MTrace test instance to perform the MTrace test for the
multicast path from the multicast source to the querier.
6.22.6 Checking the Configuration
After performing the MTrace test for the multicast path from the multicast source to the querier,
you can view the test result.
6.22.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring an MTrace test for the multicast 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 multicast path from the multicast source to the querier, you can perform the NQA
MTrace test.
During this test, actual multicast data flows are required in the network and the querier must
reside on the multicast distribution tree. This test can be used to trace the actual forwarding path
of packets.
This test provides the following functions:
l
It can be used in multicast troubleshooting and routine maintenance to locate the faulty
nodes and reduce configuration errors.
l It collects traffic through cyclic path tracing and calculates the multicast traffic rate.
l It outputs the test result containing the information about the faulty nodes, based on which
the NM Station can analyzes the fault and generates alarms.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the MTrace test, you must enable the multicast function in the network.
Data Preparation
To configure the MTrace test, you need the following data.
