Multicast Routing

9.5 Multicast Configuration

Select the Multicast protocol that suits your application best.
As the Multicast routing protocols use different methods for the Multicast
transmission, the router prevents you from using more than one Multicast
routing protocol at the same time.
When one Multicast routing protocol is activated, the router deactivates any
other active Multicast routing protocol.
