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.
