Re: ip mroute considered a static route?

Hmm...

There are several show commands that will report the desired output to
verify the commands correctly and most any lab usually has some ip igmp
join-group x.x.x.x to use and might be used for grading purposes.

You can always configure your own to verify that things are working
correctly but I think you might be over-doing it.

Learn how to answer the question and know how to correct the common issues
with Multicast. Start with Unicast.
