Multicast Routing Table Configuration

Static multicast routes are typically used to support multicast data forwarding from the hosts on interfaces in IGMP router proxy mode to the routers upstream on the interfaces in IGMP host mode. You can also use static multicast routes to support inter-domain multicast forwarding. You can create a static route for an (S, G) pair with any input and output interface. You can also create a static route and wildcard either the source or multicast group, or both by entering 0.0.0.0.

To Create a Static Multicast Route

  1. Enter the necessary information:

Source IP: The IP address of the source that is transmitting the multicast traffic.

MGroup: The IP address of the multicast group to which the source is transmitting the multicast traffic.

Incoming interface: The interface on which the traffic was received.

Outgoing Interface: The interface through which the NetScreen device sends the traffic downstream towards the receivers.

Translated MGroup: The IP address of the multicast group on the outgoing interface.
