Multicast addresses are in class D, which means that multicast addresses are between 224.0.0.1 and 239.255.255.255. The ip maddress show command can be used to determine if an interface is configured to use multicast. In this example, the eth0 interface is configured to use multicast address 224.0.0.1.
~]# ip maddress show
1: lo
inet 224.0.0.1
inet6 ff02::1
inet6 ff01::1
2: eth0
link 33:33:00:00:00:01
link 01:00:5e:00:00:01
link 33:33:ff:a1:35:a1
inet 224.0.0.1
inet6 ff02::202
inet6 ff02::1:ffa3:35a1
inet6 ff02::1
inet6 ff01::1
