Usage 
Information
Network administrators use static mroutes to control the reach-ability of the multicast sources. 
If a PIM-registered multicast source is reachable using static mroute as well as unicast route, 
the distance of each route is examined and the route with shorter distance is the one the PIM 
selects for reach-ability.
NOTE: The default distance of mroutes is zero (0) and is CLI configurable on a per route 
basis.
