bridge multicast address {mac-multicast-address ip-multicast-address} [add remove] {ethernet interface-list port-channel port-channel-number-list}

no bridge multicast address {mac-multicast-address ip-multicast-address}

add—Adds ports to the group. If no option is specified, this is the default option.

remove—Removes ports from the group.

mac-multicast-address—MAC multicast address in the format of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.

ip- multicast-address—IP multicast address.

interface-list—Separate nonconsecutive Ethernet ports with a comma and no spaces; a hyphen is used to designate a range of ports.

port-channel-number-list—Separate nonconsecutive port-channels with a comma and no spaces; a hyphen is used to designate a range of ports.

Default Configuration

No multicast addresses are defined.

Command Mode

Interface configuration (VLAN) mode

User Guidelines

If the command is executed without add or remove, the command only registers the group in the bridge database.

Static multicast addresses can only be defined on static VLANs.

Examples

The following example registers the MAC address:

Console (config)# interface vlan 8

Console (config-if)# bridge multicast address 01:00:5e:02:02:03

The following example registers the MAC address and adds ports statically.

Console (config)# interface vlan 8

Console (config-if)#bridge multicast address 01:00:5e:02:02:03 add ethernet g1-9
