Hi Matthew,
The great thing about Mediatrace is that no RSVP configurations are necessary to get it to work.
As you stated RSVP is used to learn/trace the same path through the network as the media flow
you need to trace. The RSVP trace mechanism is done automatically by mediatrace in the background.
No additional RSVP config's needed, unless you need to open a firewall pin-hole to allow RSVP messages
through. RSVP is NOT reserving any bandwidth, only tracing the media-path and signaling router/switch
upstream to monitor the media flow you specify.
Use the following config to enable mediatrace on a "medianet capable" router or switch;
#mediatrace initiator {source-ip ip-address | source-interface interface-name} [force] [max-sessions number ]
#mediatrace responder [max-sessions number ]
If you are curious about the Mediatrace RSVP meassges you can some debug to see how mediatrace uses
RSVP.
#debug ip rsvp signalling
#debug mediatrace trace
Cheers
