Configuring Multicast Mode
Using the GUI to View Multicast Groups
To view multicast groups using the controller GUI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Multicast. The Multicast Groups page appears (see Figure 4-24).
Figure 4-24 Multicast Groups Page
This page shows all the multicast groups and their corresponding MGIDs.
Step 2 Click the link for a specific MGID (such as MGID 550) to see a list of all the clients joined to the
multicast group in that particular MGID.
Using the CLI to Enable Multicast Mode
To enable multicast mode using the controller CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enable or disable multicasting on the controller by entering this command:
config network multicast global {enable | disable}
The default value is disabled.
Note The config network broadcast {enable | disable} command allows you to enable or disable
broadcasting without enabling or disabling multicasting as well. This command uses the
multicast mode currently on the controller to operate.
Step 2 Perform one of the following:
a. Configure the controller to use the unicast method to send multicast packets by entering this
command:
config network multicast mode unicast
b. Configure the controller to use the multicast method to send multicast packets to a CAPWAP
multicast group by entering this command:
config network multicast mode multicast multicast_group_ip_address
