Navigation pane

The Multicast Manager navigation pane is on the left side of the window. It contains the protocol folders in the navigation tree. In the navigation pane, you can select the folder for which you want to view multicast information, or use the Print command to print the navigation tree.

The folders in the navigation tree contain devices or elements relating to multicast protocols. Click on a folder to open it and view its contents. Most of the folders contain devices, but some contain route trees or other types of elements.

Within a folder, click on a device or element icon to view more information in the content pane. The content pane will not show any information or column headers if there are no elements in the folder.

For more information about the folders and elements in the navigation pane, see Understanding the Multicast Manager navigation tree.
