associated with a stable set of hosts.
Command Usage
◆
Multicast groups can be statically assigned to a receiver port using this
configuration page.

The IP address range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 is used for multicast
streams. MVR group addresses cannot fall within the reserved IP multicast
address range of 224.0.0.x.
