Multicast Policies

Multicast must be enabled for these options to be available.

  • Enable reception of all multicast addresses - This radio button is not enabled by default. Select this radio button to receive all (class D) multicast addresses.

    Receiving all multicast addresses might cause your network to experience performance degradation.

  • Enable reception for the following multicast addresses - Select an existing multicast object/group. You can also create a new multicast object or a new multicast group to have it listed in the drop-down menu. In the drop-down menu, select Create a new multicast address object or Create new multicast group.

    Only address objects and groups associated with the MULTICAST zone are available to select. Only addresses from 224.0.0.1 to 239.255.255.255 can be bound to the MULTICAST zone.

    You can specify up to 200 total multicast addresses.
