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 Cisco
FM3500 Endo for device
configuration” (page 48)
.
2. Click the -multicast link under ADVANCED SETTINGS in the
left-hand settings menu ( Figure 40 (page 104) ).

Multicast dialog will be shown.
