ip field. You cannot use this IP address to create another Multicast Routing entry with a different
Multicast-ip address.
multicast-ip
Synopsis: A string conforming to: "(22[4-9]|23[0-9])\.(([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|
25[0-5])\.){2}([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])"
The multicast IP address to be forwarded, in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The address must be in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
“U” indicates that this address is uniquely paired with the source IP address set in the Source-
ip field. You cannot use this IP address to create another Multicast Routing entry with a different
Source-ip address.
