4. Compile the needed multicast rule. Use the following syntax rules

to create the rule:

• A multicast rule consists of two parts: a multicast group

designator and a destination address.

• Define the multicast group designator. For example, the

designator 224.1.1.0/24 indicates all multicast groups in

the range 224.1.1.1 through 224.1.1.254.

• The destination address consists of one or more Fluidmesh

unit ID numbers, in the form 5.a.b.c. These ID numbers

belong to the physical Fluidmesh device or devices to

which the multicast traffic must be forwarded.

• Destination-address wildcards can also be used. For

example, the destination address

5.255.255.255 represents all Fluidmesh units in the

wireless network.

5. Enter the multicast group designator in the Multicast Group field.

6. Enter the destination address in the Destination Address field.

7. Click the add button.

• The new multicast route will be shown in the Multicast

routes section.

To enable or disable multicast forwarding on a Bridge unit, do the

following steps:

1. Connect to the Bridge unit as shown in “Accessing the Fluidmesh

4200 FIBER for device configuration” (page 52).

2. Click the -multicast link under ADVANCED SETTINGS in the

left-hand settings menu (Figure 55 (page 110)).

• The Multicast dialog will be shown.
