One application of this command is for enabling multicast over GRE
tunnel. In this case you will need static mroute to the multicast source
and RP that points to the tunnel interface. This will allow the RPF
check to succeed for multicast traffic coming in on the tunnel
interface.

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.
