Cisco Cisco Multicast Manager 3.1

CMM 3.1 trace logic relies on Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) interface reachability. If any one 
of the PIM interfaces along the multicast tree is down, the trace is not completed and the user does not 
know the problem. CMM provides a feature to show the users which PIM interfaces are down. The 
analysis is done on a per-domain basis.

CMM 3.1 provides a login message that is presented to users immediately after they successfully log in 
to the application. This message is configurable by an administrator and allows messages of at least 1600 
Unicode characters. The message must be specifically acknowledged to continue with the login. Users 
can disable this feature, if no login message is desired. Typical uses of such a message are an 
unauthorized use warning message or to remind users of planned application downtime, etc.

CMM provides a software development kit (SDK) that allows you to develop a client application that 
communicates with CMM by using Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) messages. The API 
operations provided by the SDK allow you to perform tasks such as:

Getting a trace image file from the CMM server for use by your application.

Getting the Source and Group (S,G) in a domain or on a device.

Getting multicast events.

Getting the multicast devices in a domain.

Adding Layer 2 devices, Layer 3 devices, or video probes in bulk.

Adding, deleting, and viewing polling configurations.

Saving global configurations.
