Figure 3-1 An example of multicast group configuration
In multicast, controllers can be grouped as shown in the example of Figure 3-1.
Controllers 1, 2, 4, and 5 belong to Group A, and Controllers 3, 5, and 6 belong
to Group B.
In this example, multicast addresses are set as follows:
• Multicast addresses in Group A ……225.224.0.1
• Multicast addresses in Group B ……225.224.0.2
By doing this, the controllers can be grouped by registering them as follows:
• Controllers 1, 2, 4……225.224.0.1
• Controllers 3, 6…………225.224.0.2
• Controllers 5……………225.224.0.1 and 225.224.0.2
The setting above allows messages to be passed to the controllers that belong
to the group simultaneously.
