Multicast paging not working with Page Pro

Hey,

I am running FreePBX 15 plus the commercial page pro module. I am using both Grandstream and Aastra/Mitel phones and have configured them to listen for multicast on a particular IP and port (225.1.3.0:6767).
I have setup a paging group to page this IPO however no page is ever heard.

If I setup a dedicated button on one of the aastra phones to do the multicast page, then it works and the page is heard, so I know that they are listening correctly on the right IP/port.

When doing a tcpdump on the PBX network interface, I am not seeing any multicast packets going out during a page.

Some other information which may/may not be relevant - this is a new but upgraded system from FreePBX 12 (using the conversion tool).
The PBX has 2 NICs as well as a vlan on one of them.

Here is a snippet from the Asterisk logs

It appears to all look good to me, so any thoughts on why this is not working?

Thanks

i believe the issue was that multicast was not enabled for that specific switch port the PBX was connected to.

Multicast paging appears to be working now
