# ip-mroute(8)

multicast routing cache management

## NAME

ip-mroute - multicast routing cache management

## SYNOPSIS

**ip mroute show** \[ \[   **to**  \]  *PREFIX* \] \[  **from** *PREFIX* \] \[  **iif** *DEVICE* \] \[  **table** *TABLE\_ID* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**mroute** objects are multicast routing cache entries created by a user-level mrouting daemon (f.e. **pimd** or **mrouted** ).

Due to the limitations of the current interface to the multicast routing engine, it is impossible to change **mroute** objects administratively, so we can only display them. This limitation will be removed in the future.

### ip mroute show - list mroute cache entries

- **to** *PREFIX* **(default)**

  the prefix selecting the destination multicast addresses to list.

- **iif** *NAME*

  the interface on which multicast packets are received.

- **from** *PREFIX*

  the prefix selecting the IP source addresses of the multicast route.

- **table** *TABLE\_ID*

  the table id selecting the multicast table. It can be **local**, **main**, **default**, **all** or a number.
