Here is what our Network admin is telling me. Can anyone give me some advice on how to remedy this?

In both traces from b89 and b101, the multicast TTL is set to 1. This means multicast is limited to local subnet. Is there a way for you to modify the TTL?
Please have someone take a wireshark trace from Charlotte? I’d like to see the multicast TTL setting for Charlotte.
I attached procedures for starting wireshark packet capture.
