Viewing the Multicast Manager Home Page
When you log into the CMM, the Multicast Manager Home Page opens. To access this page from within the CMM, select the Multicast Manager tool, then select Home.
The Home page shows the last 20 events (see the "Latest Events" section).

Viewing Topology
Using Topology, you can display routers and their multicast information in the database, on an individual basis, or by showing the complete database.
To see the complete database, select Display All. Router names appear at the top of each table.
Figure 3-2 Topology Display All
To see topology for an individual router, click a router from the list pane at lower left.

Note
To see a topological display of the routers, select PIM Neighbors.

RP Group Threshold Report
Using the RP Group Threshold Report, you can monitor a list of RPs that have exceeded their active number of groups limit.
To generate an RP Group Threshold report:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3

RPF Failures
Using the RPF Failures Report, you can monitor all routers that are experiencing RPF failures above the configured threshold for the configured sources and groups.
To generate an RPF Failures report:

Group Gone Report
The Group Gone Report is currently unsupported. Functionality in this page has moved to the S,G Polling Report.
S,G Threshold Report
Using the S,G Threshold Report, you can monitor every source and group that has exceeded its configured threshold.
To generate an S,G Threshold report:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3

Layer 2 PPS Threshold Report
Using the Layer 2 PPS Threshold Report, you can monitor all Layer 2 ports that have exceeded their configured thresholds.
To generate a Layer 2 PPS Threshold Report:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3

SSG Report
Using the SSG Report, you can display information about groups that have more than one sender.
To generate an SSG Report:
Step 1
Step 2

Tree Report
Using the Multicast Tree Report, you can draw and save multicast trees (called baselines). You can then set up the CMM to draw trees that have been saved in the background, and report any changes. (Only changes to Layer 3 devices are reported.)
Note
If a multicast tree you are monitoring changes, a trap is generated. You can then view the baseline and the changed tree. Changes are highlighted in the text and also in the drawing.
To generate a Multicast Tree Report:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Figure 3-12 Tree Report
Selecting "trchanged" in the third column in the report will graphically show the baseline, along with the changed tree. Changes to the tree are highlighted in the table at the top as shown in the figure. The baseline and the current tree are also shown graphically.

S,G Delta Report
Using the Multicast S,G Delta Report, you can view information about PPS rate deviation on multicast trees.
To generate a Multicast S,G Delta Report:
