GroupMask

Address
The IP address of the C-RP. This address has to be one of the local PIM-SM enabled interfaces.
You can only configure one interface on a Passport 8600 switch for multiple groups, that is, you cannot configure multiple interfaces for multiple groups.
The GroupMask value allows you to configure a Candidate RP for several groups in one configuration. For example, a Candidate RP configuration with a GroupAddress value of 224.0.0.0 and a GroupMask of 240.0.0.0 allows you to configure the Candidate RP for a multicast range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
