mrm - "Monitor source address is not configured"?

[dave]

Greetings,

I'm trying to use MRM, but the "manager" doesn't seem to know it's source address, despite looking like it does.

I've tried multiple source interfaces.

-----------------------------------------ip mrm manager TEST

manager Serial0/0.1 group 225.0.0.1

senders 1

receivers 2

-----------------------------------------

R3#sh ip mrm manager TEST

Manager:TEST/1.0.0.1 is not running

Beacon interval/holdtime/ttl:60/86400/32

Group:225.0.0.1, UDP port test-packet/status-report:16384/65535

Test senders:

5.5.5.5

Test receivers:

1.1.1.1

-----------------------------------------

R3#mrm TEST start

Monitor source address is not configured

-----------------------------------------

???!!!! Another interface (loopback)

-----------------------------------------

R3#sh ip mrm manager TEST

Manager:TEST/3.3.3.3 is not running

Beacon interval/holdtime/ttl:5/86400/32

Group:239.0.0.1, UDP port test-packet/status-report:50000/50001

Test senders:

5.5.5.5

Test receivers:

1.1.1.1

R3#mrm TEST start

Monitor source address is not configured

-----------------------------------------

I've tried this on various 3640s running enterprise 12.3, and a 2500 running 12.2(32). All have the same result.

Hi Dave, The below worked fine for me. The problem is with your receiver line. You also need to reference the sender-list.

ip mrm manager TEST

manager FastEthernet0/0 group 239.1.1.1

senders 1

receivers 2 sender-list 1

access-list 1 permit 5.5.5.5

access-list 2 permit 1.1.1.1

Mark

Greetings,

Yes thanks Mark. It seems I missed the "sender-list 1" on the "receivers" line.

Dave
