Enabling Mesh Multicast Containment for Video

You can use the controller CLI to configure three mesh multicast modes to manage video camera
broadcasts on all mesh access points. When enabled, these modes reduce unnecessary multicast
transmissions within the mesh network and conserve backhaul bandwidth.
Mesh multicast modes determine how bridging-enabled access points [mesh access points (MAPs) and
root access points (RAPs)] send multicasts among Ethernet LANs within a mesh network. Mesh
multicast modes manage non-CAPWAP multicast traffic only. CAPWAP multicast traffic is governed by
a different mechanism.
