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.
