6.24 Configuring the NQA MTrace Test to Check the
Multicast Path from the Multicast Source to the Destination
Host
This section describes how to configure an MTrace test to check the multicast path from the
multicast source to the destination host.
6.24.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring an MTrace test for the multicast path from the multicast source to the
destination host, 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.
6.24.2 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 destination host.
6.24.3 Configuring Parameters for 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 destination host.
6.24.4 (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.
6.24.5 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 destination host.
6.24.6 Setting Policies for Filtering Queriers
You can set policies to filter queriers only on the last-hop that receives the unicast IGMP Tracert
Query packet.
6.24.7 Checking the Configuration
After performing the MTrace test for the multicast path from the multicast source to the
destination host, you can view the test result.
6.24.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring an MTrace test for the multicast path from the multicast source to the
destination host, 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 destination host, you can perform
the NQA MTrace test.
During this test, actual multicast data flows are required in the network and the destination host
must be receiving these data flows. This test can be used to trace the actual forwarding path of
packets.
