HeartBeat Addr=224.1.1.1

HeartBeat Udp Port=16387

Set the Heartbeat Slot Time, HeartBeat Slot Count, and Alarm Threshold parameters to 
specify the time, count, and alarm threshold. For example:

HeartBeat Slot Time=10

HeartBeat Slot Count=10

Alarm threshold=3

Source Addr=0.0.0.0

Source Mask=0.0.0.0

Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.

To enable multicasting on WAN interfaces:

Open the Connection profile for a multicast client site.

Open the IP Options subprofile and set Multicast Client to Yes. If appropriate, set the 
Multicast Rate Limit parameter to specify a rate limit other than the default of 5.

Figure 10-2 shows a multicast router on the WAN with local and dial-in multicast clients. This 
example presents a sample configuration for the local MAX unit in the figure. The 
configuration specifies the MBONE interface as a WAN link accessed through a Connection 
profile # 4. 

This example does not use heartbeat monitoring. If you want to configure the MAX for 

heartbeat monitoring, see the sample settings in “Examples of multicast forwarding 
configuration” on page 10-5.
