Examples of multicast forwarding configuration
The examples in this section show how to configure MBONE routers on the Ethernet and on a
WAN. They also show how to configure multicast clients.
Forwarding from an MBONE router on Ethernet
Figure 10-1 shows a local multicast router on one of the MAX unit's Ethernet interfaces, and
dial-in multicast clients.

Note: Heartbeat monitoring is an optional feature. You can operate multicast forwarding
without it if you prefer.
As an example of this type of multicast configuration, the following procedure specifies the
MBONE interface as the Ethernet port, and uses the heartbeat group address of 224.1.1.1:

Set the HeartBeat Addr and Heartbeat UDP parameters to specify a heartbeat group
address and UDP port for monitoring heartbeat packets. For example:
