Configuring mrouted

When the

mrouted

 daemon starts, it automatically reads the default

configuration file

/etc/mrouted.conf

. You can override the default

configuration file by specifying an alternate file while invoking

mrouted

.

See “Starting mrouted” on page 36 for more information. If you change
the

/etc/mrouted.conf

 file while

mrouted

 is running, issue the

following command to reread the configuration file:

kill -HUP

By default,

mrouted

 automatically configures itself to forward on all

multicast-capable interfaces, excluding the loopback interface that has
the

IFF_MULTICAST

 flag set. Therefore, you do not need to explicitly

configure

mrouted

, unless you need to configure tunnel links, change the

default operating parameters, or disable multicast routing over a specific
physical interface.

You can define the configuration commands in the

/etc/mrouted.conf

configuration file.

mrouted

 supports five configuration commands:

phyint

,

tunnel

,

cache_lifetime

,

pruning

, and

name

. One or more

options are associated with each command.

The syntax of each command is as follows:

phyint

local-addr [disable] [metric m] [threshold t] [rate_lim

it

b]

[boundary (

boundary-name|scoped-addr/mask-len)]

[altnet

tunnel
