Navigation pane

The Multicast Manager navigation pane (Figure 55) is on the left side of the window. It contains the protocol and group folders in the navigation tree. The first four branches of the navigation tree list the multicast protocols supported by the devices. The last branch lists the root of all active multicast groups, with the first level identifying the source subnets and the second level identifying the intermediate forwarding nodes.

In the navigation pane, you can select the folder for which you want to view multicast information, or use the Print command to print the navigation tree.
