13.2.3 Multicast Memberships
When the IP Address type Multicast is selected, the following parameters become available.
Parameter Description
Multicast Address When multicast is used a specific multicast address must be defined.
This is the IP address where the different devices in the multicast group
have to listen to.
IP multicast uses a reserved range of IP addresses (from 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255). The IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is
used as communication and coordination protocol between source and
recipients.
With IGMPv3 a source address can be detected so that only traffic coming
from this source is accepted.
Source Address A
&
Source Address B
(Note this is only applicable when the IGMP version 3.0 is selected.)
Configure the source address to indicate from which source, data is
expected. This allows the router to forward data from only those sources
from which the receivers requested the data.
Source A and Source B allow to configure device redundancy on
multicast level.

13.3 Data Ethernet Link Redundancy
It is possible to enable link redundancy (also known as bonding) on the management and data
Ethernet interfaces. Link redundancy is used to eliminate downtime as much as possible in the
system setup. This to increase the reliability of the system.
When Ethernet interface redundancy is enabled, two interfaces behave as one virtual interface (bond
interface): only one of the two physical interfaces is active at a time. When the link state of the active
interface goes down (physically broken connection), the other interface takes over the operation.
