Confi gure > Static Multicast Routes 4.87
The unit supports Multicast routes, allowing your unit to route packets to multicast group address-
es. You can configure up to 20 different static multicast routes.
Using the Web Page(s)
The Configure > Static Multicast Routes page displays a table that allows you to set the following
values for each route:
Multicast Address / Address Mask
These parameters are used in conjunction with each other to specify the destination multi-
cast group address for packets that will match this route, i.e. if the unit receives a packet with
a destination multicast group address that matches the specified Multicast Address / Address
Mask combination, it will route that packet through the interface specified by the Interface and
Interface # parameters.

Multicast Address / Address Mask combination. Either “None”, “PPP”, “Ethernet” or “Tunnel”
