Determine the multicast IP address

Publishers multicast messages to subscribers on a class D (multicast) IP address. All multicast IP addresses must range from 224.0.2.0 through 224.0.255.0.

Custom or Express install

If you plan to perform a Custom or Express setup, review the default multicast channel assignment with your Network Administrator. The installer assigns 224.0.2.0 as the default multicast IP Address for all publishers. If this channel is in use or not appropriate for your site, ask your administrator to assign an appropriate multicast IP address for Sybase RAP message traffic

Demo install

If you intend to perform a Demo install, you can skip this step. The installer assigns 224.0.2.0 as the multicast IP Address for all publishers and subscribers.
