## 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.
