Detection of misconfiguration
The Multicast Manager has a feature which compares which multicast groups are running
on routers with a list of expected groups contained in a file. This is useful when networks
are configured statically, and it is known which groups should exist on which
routers.
The list of routers and expected
multicast groups are contained in the file ValidateGroups.txt in the directory,
<BASEDIR>/local/conf/mcast.
The following fragment is an example:
router_a 224.0.0.1 224.0.0.2 router_b 224.0.0.1 224.0.0.3 ...
The Multicast Manager parses this file
following multicast discovery and generates notifications for each mismatch between
the file and the discovered topology.
