You can also force MPs to join or leave specific multicast
groups, if you need to support non-IP multicast groups or a
device on an Access interface that doesn’t implement IGMP/
MLD, or for testing/debugging purposes.
To subscribe to a multicast group, you must identify the FP
Mesh interface for the stream and specify the multicast
address for the group by MAC or IP address. MPs can
subscribe as multicast listeners, talkers or both (the default).
You can observe the multicast groups to which the MP is
currently subscribed (whether learned or configured) on
Monitor -> Mesh Status -> Multicast Groups (described in
Section 5.8.5). You can observe and flush the
Multicast/
Broadcast Forwarding
table on the same page.
