[alcatel-nsp] Pinging a multicast address

[Bryan]

In the Cisco world we can ping a multicast address, specifically
another router with the "ip igmp join-group" command and the multicast
network set up properly. In ALU, there is a static command but this
address does not respond to pings. Also, the sending router doesn't
even transmit packets:

*A:r1# ping 239.0.0.1
PING 239.0.0.1 56 data bytes
No route to destination. Address: 239.0.0.1, Router: Base
No route to destination. Address: 239.0.0.1, Router: Base
No route to destination. Address: 239.0.0.1, Router: Base

Is it possible to test multicast using ping and ALU routers?

Thanks,
Bryan
