NAME
       ip-maddress - multicast addresses management

SYNOPSIS
       ip [ OPTIONS ] maddress	{ COMMAND | help }

       ip maddress [ add | del ] MULTIADDR dev STRING

       ip maddress show [ dev STRING ]

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.

	      the link layer multicast address.

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