Searching multicast groups
There is two ways to search for multicast groups: searching them all or using filters.
This task is mandatory to open a multicast group in edit or view mode to perform a closer monitoring on its activity. The edit mode is only available for end-users with read-write access. For more information, see Opening a panel and checking your read-write access.
Searching and viewing all the multicast groups of your network
You can have a global view of all the multicast groups created on your network by searching them all. It gives you a first level of monitoring on their overall activity.
They are displayed in a list that you can manage by showing/hiding columns and by sorting or filtering contents. If you have read-write access, you can also delete the multicast group from the list if necessary. For more information, see Opening a panel and checking your read-write access.
Alternatively, if you want to filter multicast groups, see Searching multicast groups using filters.
