To display information about a multicast path from a source to the Services Router, enter the mtrace from-source command with the following syntax. Table 206 describes the mtrace from-source command options.
Traces the path to the specified hostname or IP address.
extra-hops number
(Optional) Sets the number of extra hops to trace past nonresponsive routers. Specify a value from 0 through 255.
group address
(Optional) Traces the path for the specified group address. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
interval seconds
(Optional) Sets the interval between statistics gathering. The default value is 10.
max-hops number
(Optional) Sets the maximum number of hops to trace toward the source. Specify a value from 0 through 255. The default value is 32.
max-queries number
(Optional) Sets the maximum number of query attempts for any hop. Specify a value from 1 through 32. The default value is 3.
response host
(Optional) Sends the response packets to the specified hostname or IP address. By default, the response packets are sent to the Services Router.
routing-instance routing-instance-name
(Optional) Traces the routing instance you specify.
ttl number
(Optional) Sets the time-to-live (TTL) value in the IP header of the query packets. Specify a hop count from 0 through 255. The default value for local queries to the all routers multicast group is 1. Otherwise, the default value is 127.
wait-time seconds
(Optional) Sets the time to wait for a response packet. The default value is 3 seconds.
loop
(Optional) Loops indefinitely, displaying rate and loss statistics. To quit the mtrace command, press Ctrl-C.
multicast-response
(Optional) Forces the responses to use multicast.
unicast-response
(Optional) Forces the response packets to use unicast.
no-resolve
(Optional) Does not display hostnames.
no-router-alert
(Optional) Does not use the router alert IP option in the IP header.
brief
(Optional) Does not display packet rates and losses.
detail
(Optional) Displays packet rates and losses if a group address is specified.
Following is sample output from the mtrace from-source command:

Each line of the trace display is usually in the following format (depending on the options selected and the responses from the routers along the path):

Table 207 summarizes the output fields of the display.
Note: The packet statistics gathered from Juniper Networks routers and routing nodes are always displayed as 0.
