--------------------------------------------------------------
----
If a multicast tree is not formed due to a
configuration issue (for example, PIM is not
enabled on one of the interfaces on the
path), you can invoke a weak mtrace to
identify the location in the network where
the error has originated.
R1>mtrace 6.6.6.6 4.4.4.5
Type Ctrl-C to abort.
Querying reverse path for source 6.6.6.6 to destination
4.4.4.5 via RPF

--------------------------------------------------------------
----
If the destination provided in the command is
not a valid receiver for the multicast group,
the last hop router for the destination
provides the WRONG LAST HOP error code.
If the last-hop router contains a path to the
source, the path is traced irrespective of the
incorrect destination.
R1>mtrace 6.6.6.6 5.5.5.5 234.1.1.1
Type Ctrl-C to abort.

----
If a router in the network does not process
mtrace and drops the packet resulting in no
response, the system performs an
expanding-hop search to trace the path to
the router that has dropped mtrace. The
output of the command displays a ‘*’
indicating that no response is received for an
mtrace request. The following message
appears when the system performs a hop-
by-hop search: “switching to hop-by-hop:”
