The following figure and table describe how to set up Multicast forwarding on the switch. Open the Multicasting folder and click on the 802.1Q Multicast Forwarding button to see the entry screen below:
| Figure7- 31. Setup IEEE 802.1Q Multicast Forwarding Screen | |
Use the Multicast Forwarding Screen to define the following parameters: | ||
|
|
|
MAC Address |
| The MAC address of the static source of multicast packets. |
VID |
| The VLAN ID of the VLAN the above MAC address belongs to. |
|
| Allows the selection of ports that will be members of the static multicast |
|
| group and ports that are either forbidden from joining dynamically, or that |
|
| can join the multicast group dynamically, using GMRP. The options are; |
PortMap / State |
| None – no restrictions on the port dynamically joining the multicast group, |
| Egress – the port is a static member of the multicast group, and Forbidden – | |
|
| |
|
| the port is restricted from joining the multicast group dynamically. For |
|
| example, if None is chosen, then an end station attached to the port can join |
|
| the multicast group using GMRP. |
IGMP Snooping
When enabled for IGMP snooping, the Switch can open or close a port to a specific Multicast group member based on IGMP messages sent from the device to the IGMP host or vice versa.
