IP-MADDRESS(8)                                Linux                                IP-MADDRESS(8)



NAME
       ip-maddress - multicast addresses management

SYNOPSIS
       ip [ OPTIONS ] maddress  { COMMAND | help }


       ip maddress [ add | del ] MULTIADDR dev NAME

       ip maddress show [ dev NAME ]


DESCRIPTION
       maddress objects are multicast addresses.


   ip maddress show - list multicast addresses
       dev NAME (default)
              the device name.


       ip maddress add - add a multicast address

       ip maddress delete - delete a multicast address

              These commands attach/detach a static link-layer multicast address to listen on the
              interface.  Note that it is impossible to join protocol multicast groups stati‐
              cally.  This command only manages link-layer addresses.


              address LLADDRESS (default)
                     the link-layer multicast address.


              dev NAME
                     the device to join/leave this multicast address.
