Multicast Routing requires support for PIM, which the SMB may not have.
Possible it’s in more recent firmware (R77.20.80 is the latest for that hardware).

Just asked AI copilot and it says not supported, see below.

No, Quantum Spark 600 appliances do not support multicast routing. The Quantum Spark 600 series has limitations regarding IPv6 and does not support IPv6 at all, which includes multicast routing capabilities.

Points 2,3,4,5,6 and 8 are not relevant for SMB 600. Points 7 and 9 are identical and also not relevant for SMB 600. You need no IPv6 for multicast routing at all, so the given reason also is wrong... I wonder why you post that at all!
