============================================
Multicast Subnets for the Management Network
============================================
A multicast subnet specifies the range of addresses that the system can use for
multicast messaging on the network. You can use this subnet to prevent
multicast leaks in multi-region environments. Addresses for the affected
services are allocated automatically from the subnet.
The requirements for multicast subnets are as follows:
.. _multicast-subnets-for-the-management-network-ul-ubf-ytc-b1b:
- IP multicast addresses must be in the range of 224.0.0.0 through
239.255.255.255
For IPv6, the recommended range is ffx5::/16.
- IP multicast address ranges for a particular region must not conflict or
overlap with the IP multicast address ranges of other regions.
- IP multicast address ranges must not conflict or overlap with the
well-known multicast addresses listed at:
`https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address>`__
- IP multicast addresses must be unique within the network.
- The lower 23-bits of the IP multicast address, used to construct the
multicast MAC address, must be unique within the network.
- When interfaces of different regions are on the same L2 network / IP
subnet, a separate multicast subnet is required for each region.
- The minimum multicast network range is 16 host entries.
.. note::
Addresses used within the IP multicast address range apply to services
using IP multicast, not to hosts.
.. warning::
|ToR| switches with snooping enabled on this network segment require a
|IGMP|/|MLD| querier on that network to prevent nodes from being dropped
from the multicast group.
The default setting for the multicast subnet is 239.1.1.0/28. The default for
IPv6 is ff05::14:1:1:0/124.
