Field Reference
Configuring Multicast Routes
Static multicast routes let you separate multicast traffic from unicast traffic. For example, when a path
between a source and destination does not support multicast routing, the solution is to configure two
multicast devices with a GRE tunnel between them, sending the multicast packets over the tunnel.
Static multicast routes are local to the security appliance and are not advertised or redistributed.
Use the Multicast Routes page to manage static multicast routes—currently defined routes are listed, and
you can add, edit and delete static multicast routes.
See Add/Edit MRoute Configuration Dialog Box, page 53-8 for more information about the fields
displayed in the table on this page.
Navigation Path

•(Policy view) Select PIX/ASA/FWSM Platform > Multicast > Multicast Routes from the Policy
Type selector. Select an existing policy from the Shared Policy selector, or create a new one.
