Enabling multicast adds a new command option to the udp command:
udp open multicast-address port ?interface-address?
udp ttl handle ?value?
Opening a multicast udp socket will automatically join the multicast
group. See the source in tnm/generic/tnmUdp.c for any details.
In addition, enabling multicast allows to receive SNMP traps from
multicast addresses. This is a more experimental feature used in one
of our previous projects - I am not sure whether this is of real
practical values, especially in the light of SNMPv3.
