P-660 Series Support Notes

class D IP addresses, i.e., those with "1110" as their higher-order bits. In dotted

decimal notation, host group addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

Among them, 224.0.0.1 is assigned to the permanent IP hosts group, and 224.0.0.2 is

assigned to the multicast routers group.

IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support

multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC2236). IP hosts use IGMP to

report their multicast group membership to any immediate-neighbor multicast routers

so the multicast routers can decide if a multicast packet needs to be forwarded. At

start up, the P-660 queries all directly connected networks to gather group

membership.

After that, the P-660 updates the information by periodic queries. The P-660

implementation of IGMP is also compatible with version 1. The multicast setting can

be turned on or off on Ethernet and remote nodes.
