You can use one or more of the following methods to verify that mrouted is operating:

  • Retrieve the Virtual Interface Table and the Multicast Routing Table to see if the correct virtual interfaces (vifs) are configured. Refer to “Displaying mrouted Routing Tables” for information on retrieving these tables.

  • Retrieve the Routing Cache Table to see if the routing and cache information is appropriate for your configuration of mrouted. Refer to “Displaying mrouted Routing Tables” for information on retrieving this table.

  • Look at the syslog file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and check for warning and error messages that indicate the status of mrouted. When mrouted starts, it logs a startup message that indicates the mrouted version number, such as "mrouted version 3.8".

  • Issue the HP-UX ps (process status) command and search, using grep, for the string "mrouted" to determine if the mrouted program is running, as follows:

    ps -ef | grep mrouted
