Configuring a Manager
To configure a router as a Manager in order for MRM to function, use the following commands
beginning in global configuration mode. A host cannot be a Manager.
Conducting an MRM Test
To start and subsequently stop your MRM test, use the following command in EXEC mode:
Step 2
Router(config-if)# ip mrm test-sender-receiver
Configures the interface to be a Test Sender for one group
and a Test Receiver for another group.
Step 3
Router(config)# ip mrm accept-manager
{access-list} [test-sender | test-receiver]
Optionally, specifies that the Test Sender or Test Receiver
can accept status report requests only from Managers
specified by the access list. By default, the command
applies to both the Sender and Receiver. Because this
device is both, you might need to specify that the restriction
applies to only the Sender or only the Receiver.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# ip mrm manager test-name
Identifies a test by name, and places the router in manager
configuration mode. The test name is used to start, stop,
and monitor a test.
Step 2
Router(config-mrm-manager)# manager type
number group
ip-address
Specifies which interface on the router is the Manager, and
specifies the multicast group address the Test Receiver will
listen to.
Step 3
Router(config-mrm-manager)# beacon [interval
seconds][holdtime seconds] [ttl ttl-value]
Changes the frequency, duration, or scope of beacon
messages that the Manager sends to the Test Sender and
Test Receiver.
Step 4
Router(config-mrm-manager)# udp-port
[test-packet port-number] [status-report
port-number]
Changes UDP port numbers to which the Test Sender sends
test packets or the Test Receiver sends status reports.
Step 5
Router(config-mrm-manager)# senders
{access-list} [packet-delay milliseconds] [rtp
| udp] [target-only | all-multicasts |
all-test-senders]
Configures Test Sender parameters.
Step 6
Router(config-mrm-manager)# receivers
{access-list} [sender-list {access-list}
[packet-delay]] [window seconds] [report-delay
seconds] [loss percentage] [no-join] [monitor
| poll]
Establishes Test Receivers for MRM, specifies which Test
Senders the Test Receivers will listen to, specifies which
sources the Test Receivers monitor, specifies the packet
delay, and changes Test Receiver parameters.
Command Purpose
Router# mrm test-name {start | stop}
Starts or stops the MRM test.
