NAME
       ip-maddress - multicast addresses management

SYNOPSIS
       ip [ OPTIONS ] maddress	{ COMMAND |  help }


	       ip maddress [ add | del ] MULTIADDR dev NAME

       ip maddress show [ dev NAME ]


DESCRIPTION
       maddress objects are multicast addresses.


   ip maddress show - list multicast addresses
       dev NAME (default)
	      the device name.


       ip maddress add - add a multicast address

       ip maddress delete - delete a multicast address

	      These commands attach/detach a static link-layer multicast
	      address to listen on the interface.  Note that it is impossible
	      to join protocol multicast groups statically. This command only
	      manages link-layer addresses.


	      address LLADDRESS (default)
		     the link-layer multicast address.


	      dev NAME
		     the device to join/leave this multicast address.
