+# Multicast
+
+In order to influence Multicast {abbr}`RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding)` lookup,
+it is possible to insert into zebra routes for the Multicast
+{abbr}`RIB (Routing Information Base)`. These routes are only used for RPF
+lookup and will not be used by ZEBRA for insertion into the kernel or for
+normal RIB processing. As such it is possible to create weird states with
+these commands.
+
+Use with caution. Most of the time this will not be necessary.
+
+```{cfgcmd} set protocols static mroute \<subnet\> next-hop \<address\> [distance \<distance\>]
+
+Insert into the Multicast RIB Route `<subnet>` with specified next-hop.
+The distance can be specified as well if desired.
+```
+```{cfgcmd} set protocols static mroute \<subnet\> next-hop \<address\> disable
+
+Do not install route for `<subnet>` into the Multicast RIB.
+```
+```{cfgcmd} set protocols static mroute \<subnet\> interface \<interface\> [distance \<distance\>]
+
+Insert into the Multicast RIB Route `<subnet>` with specified `<interface>`.
+The distance can be specified as well if desired.
+```
+```{cfgcmd} set protocols static mroute \<subnet\> interface \<interface\> disable
+
+Do not install route for `<subnet>` into the Multicast RIB.
