Configure multicast routing

Configure multicast routing

FortiExtender is capable of running PIM-SM to discover terminal devices which can join multicast routing groups accordingly. Other than supporting multicast routing directly on LTE WAN links (mostly for private networks), this feature can also be used to run on top of IPSEC interfaces of FortiExtender to enable private and secure multicast routing.
