# ip-maddress(8) - man - phpman

> **TLDR:** Manage multicast addresses.
>
- List multicast addresses and how many programs are subscribed to them:
  `ip {{m|maddress}}`
- List device specific addresses:
  `ip {{m|maddress}} {{s|show}} dev {{ethX}}`
- Join a multicast group statically:
  `sudo ip {{m|maddress}} {{a|add}} {{33:33:00:00:00:02}} dev {{ethX}}`
- Leave a static multicast group:
  `sudo ip {{m|maddress}} {{d|delete}} {{33:33:00:00:00:02}} dev {{ethX}}`
- Display help:
  `ip {{m|maddress}} {{h|help}}`

## 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.
