The mroute command is quite different then the ip route command. The ip
mroute command puts entry in the mroute table, much like a static route
puts an entry in the unicast routing table. The mroute command overrides
the dynamic mroute that is generated via standard multicast routing.
The most likely use of the mroute command would be to override the
unicast rpf. Multicast behavior is to only accept incoming mcast traffic
via the unicast reverse-path towards the source. If traffic comes in
from a different non-rpf interface, it is silently dropped. You can see
this behavior by using "debug ip mpacket"

Hi,
Can somebody explain me the exact use of ip mroute command and how does
it
differ from ip route (unicast routing commad)
Also if my router interface joins a multicast group using
ip igmp join-group<ip> command for this router to repond to icmp echo
requests , is it mandatory that i should configure ip mroute command.
Regards,
Eldho.
