Inconsistency of manual pages for Multicast routing

On page https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/18.5/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/Routing/StaticRouting/NetworkMulticastRouteAdd/index.html

it states to "Specify the multicast IPv4 address from the following address range: 224.0.2.0 to 239.255.255.255." but on the page https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/18.5/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/CommandLineHelp/RouteConfiguration/MulticastRouting/MulticastRoutingConfigure/index.html which is the same topic addresses from the command line it states to that the destination IP should be a "Class D IP address (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255)."

Which is it? It makes a huge difference as for example 224.0.0.251, which is the mDNS address works under one, but not the other specification.

Hi Paul,
The IP range is 224.0.2.0 to 239.255.255.255 for both GUI and CLI. 224.0.0.0/24 and 224.0.1.0/24 are reserved.

We'll update the documentation accordingly.

Hope that helps,
Rémi
