+Multicast Functionality
+=======================
+
+nhrpd can be configured to forward multicast packets, allowing routing
+protocols that use multicast (such as OSPF) to be supported in the DMVPN
+network.
+
+This support requires an NFLOG redirection rule to work:
+
+ .. code-block:: shell
+
+ iptables -I OUTPUT -d 224.0.0.0/24 -o gre1 -j NFLOG --nflog-group 2
+
+.. index:: nhrp multicast-nflog-group (1-65535)
+.. clicmd:: nhrp multicast-nflog-group (1-65535)
+
+ Sets the nflog group that nhrpd will listen on for multicast packets. This
+ value must match the nflog-group value set in the iptables rule.
+
+.. index:: ip nhrp map multicast A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X A.B.C.D|dynamic
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp map multicast A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X A.B.C.D|dynamic
+
+ Sends multicast packets to the specified NBMA address. If dynamic is
+ specified then destination NBMA address (or addresses) are learnt
+ dynamically.
