Using Topology, you can display routers and their multicast information in the database, on an individual basis, or by showing the complete database.

If you are using video probes in your installation, the Cisco Multicast Manager home page displays threshold exceeded alerts that the probes generate. You can click on the group information in the alert (an underlined IP address) to launch the Diagnostics tool and view detailed information about the multicast, which includes a display of the network topology that includes both routers and probes.
