Configuring Multicast Forwarding
Defining Multicast Forward All Settings
Defining Multicast Forward All Settings
Multicast forwarding enables transmitting packets from either a specific multicast group to a source, or from a non- specific source to a Multicast group.
The Bridge Multicast Forward All page contains fields for attaching ports or LAGs to a device that is attached to a neighboring Multicast router/switch. Once IGMP Snooping is enabled, Multicast packets are forwarded to the appropriate port or VLAN. Unless LAGs are defined, only a Multicast Forward All table displays.
To define Multicast forward all settings:
1.Click Multicast > Multicast Forward All. The Multicast Forward All Page opens:
