NAME
       mrinfo -- displays configuration	info from a multicast router

SYNOPSIS
       mrinfo [-hn] [-d	level] [-r count] [-t seconds] router

DESCRIPTION
       mrinfo attempts to display the configuration information	from the spec-
       ified multicast capable router.

       mrinfo  uses the	ASK_NEIGHBORS IGMP message to query the	specified mul-
       ticast router.  If the router responds, the version number and  a  list
       of  their  neighboring  multicast  router  addresses is part of the re-
       sponse.	If the responding router has a recent multicast	 version  num-
       ber,  then  mrinfo  requests  additional	 information  such as metrics,
       thresholds, and flags from the multicast	router.	  Once	the  specified
       multicast  router responds, the configuration is	displayed to the stan-
       dard output.

       The options are as follows:

       -h		 Print a help message and exit.

       -n		 Use numerical address	instead	 of  a	symbolic  host
			 name.

       -d level		 sets  the  debug  level.   When  the  debug  level is
			 greater than the default value	of 0,  additional  de-
			 bugging  messages are printed.	 Regardless of the de-
			 bug level, an error condition will  always  write  an
			 error	message	 and  cause mrinfo to terminate.  Non-
			 zero debug levels have	the following effects (printed
			 to stderr):

			       1  packet warnings.
			       2  all level 1 messages plus  notifications  of
				  down networks.
			       3  all  level  2	messages plus notifications of
				  all packet timeouts.

       -r count		 sets the neighbor query retry count limit.   The  de-
			 fault is to do	3 retries.

       -t seconds	 sets  the  timeout in number of seconds to wait for a
			 neighbor query	reply.	The default timeout is 4  sec-
			 onds.

EXAMPLES
       # mrinfo	mbone.phony.dom.net
       127.148.176.10 (mbone.phony.dom.net) [version 3.3]:
	127.148.176.10 -> 0.0.0.0 (?) [1/1/querier]
	127.148.176.10 -> 127.0.8.4 (mbone2.phony.dom.net) [1/45/tunnel]
	127.148.176.10 -> 105.1.41.9 (momoney.com) [1/32/tunnel/down]
	127.148.176.10 -> 143.192.152.119 (mbone.dipu.edu) [1/32/tunnel]

       For  each  neighbor  of	the  queried  multicast	 router, the IP	of the
       queried router is displayed, followed by	the IP and name	of the	neigh-
       bor.   In square	brackets the metric (cost of connection) and threshold
       (multicast ttl) is displayed.  If the queried multicast	router	has  a
       newer  version  number,	the type (tunnel, srcrt) and status (disabled,
       down) of	the connection is displayed.
