The MulticastService manages the configured multicast functions. It is a multicast feature enabled on a router that provides multicast functionality.
Attributes for MulticastService
Following table lists some key attributes for MulticastService. The Multicast Manager uses these and other attributes to detect multicast service events.
| Attribute | Description | Allowed values |
|---|---|---|

| ConnectedHopsHaveProblems | The PIMHop that this multicast service receives via has problems. | Boolean: true or false |
| DisplayTags | Labels of this entity to be displayed on the map. | String: IpAddress, an application-wide type representing an IPv4 internet address |
| DRAddress | The Designated Router (DR) IP address, when this service is a DR. | String: IpAddress, an application-wide type representing an IPv4 internet address |

| IpMRouteMIBType | The type of MIB used to discover the MulticastService's SG entries. | IPMROUTE_UNKNOWN IPMROUTE_STD IPMROUTE_STD_CISCO IPMROUTE_EXP IPMROUTE_EXP_CISCO |
| IpMRoutePkts | The total number of packets sent by all sources, to all groups served by this hosting system. | Unsigned long |
| IpMRoutePkts_In | The total number of multicast packets received from all sources by this Rendezvous Point (RP) system. | Unsigned long |
| IpMRoutePkts_Out | The total number of multicast packets sent by this system. | Unsigned long |
| IpMRouteThreadNumber | Thread number (ID) used to monitor for MROUTE changes. | Integer |
| IsBSR | Indicates whether a router has a Multicast Bootstrap Service. | Boolean: true or false |
| IsDR | Indicates whether a router has a Designated Router Service. | Boolean: true or false |
| IsLocal | Indicates whether the system is a member (local receiver) of the group. | Boolean: true or false |
| IsMRouteChanged | Indicates whether a multicast route change was detected on this device. | Boolean: true or false |
| IsMSDP | Indicates whether the router is Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) enabled. | Boolean: true or false |
| IsRendezvousPoint | Indicates whether the router has a Multicast Rendezvous Point Service. | Boolean: true or false |
| IsRendezvousPoint | Indicates whether the router has a Multicast Rendezvous Point Service. | Boolean: true or false |
| IsSACEntriesThesholdExceeded | Indicates that the upper threshold for the number of entries in the SourceAddress (SA) Cache table was exceeded. | Boolean: true or false |
| JoinPruneInterval | The default interval at which periodic PIM Sparse-Mode (PIM-SM) Join/Prune messages are sent. | Integer |
| msdpNumSACEntries | The total number of entries in the SA Cache table. | Integer |
| msdpNumSACEntriesTheshold | An upper threshold on the number of entries in the SA Cache table. An event is generated if number of entries is higher than this threshold. | Integer |

| NumberOfAccessPoints | Number of multicast interfaces (access points) hosted by this system. | Integer |
| NumberOfReceivers | Number of Receiving IGMP networks attached to an IGMP interface hosted by this system. | Integer |
| PathAdded | MROUTE change detected, more multicast paths are using this device now. | Boolean: true or false |
| PathDeleted | MROUTE change detected, fewer multicast paths are using this device now. | Boolean: true or false |
| ReasonForRediscovery | Reason why device is added to the pending list. | Text |
| RPAddress | The Unicast IP address of this Rendezvous Point, when this service is an RP. | String: IpAddress, an application-wide type representing an IPv4 internet address |
| TotalMIBTableSizeIncoming | The size of SG incoming MIB table used to detect MROUTE changes. | Integer |
| TotalMIBTableSizeOutgoing | The size of SG outgoing MIB table used to detect MROUTE changes. | Integer |
