Syntax

bridge multicast forbidden forward-all {add remove} {ethernet interface-list port-channel port-channel-number-list}

no bridge multicast forward-all

add—Forbids forwarding all multicast packets.

remove—Does not forbid forwarding all multicast packets.

interface-list—Separates non consecutive valid Ethernet ports with a comma and no spaces; a hyphen is used to designate a range of ports.

port-channel-number-list—Separates non consecutive valid port-channels with a comma and no spaces; a hyphen is used to designate a range of port-channels.

Default Configuration

By default, this setting is disabled (for example, forwarding to the port is not forbidden).

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (VLAN) mode

User Guidelines

IGMP snooping dynamically discovers multicast router ports. When a multicast router port is discovered, all the multicast packets are forwarded to it unconditionally.

This command prevents a port to be a multicast router port.

Example

In this example, forwarding all multicast packets to g6 are forbidden.

Console (config)# interface vlan 2

Console (config-if)#bridge multicast forbidden forward-all add ethernet g6

bridge aging-time

The bridge aging-timeGlobal Configuration mode command sets the address table aging time. To restore the default, use the no form of the bridge aging-timecommand.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another significant advantage of the Dell 5324, as it enables the switch to deliver both data and power to connected devices through a single Ethernet cable. This feature is particularly useful for powering IP phones, security cameras, and Wi-Fi access points, simplifying the overall cabling and ensuring a neater installation.

Furthermore, the Dell 5324 offers advanced security features that help protect the network from unauthorized access and potential threats. It includes features such as 802.1X port-based authentication, MAC address filtering, and VLAN segmentation, ensuring that only authorized devices can connect to the network.

The user-friendly web-based interface alongside command-line interface (CLI) access enhances manageability, allowing network administrators to monitor performance, configure settings, and troubleshoot issues with ease. In addition, the switch supports network automation protocols, which can streamline management tasks and improve efficiency.

The industrial-grade design of the Dell 5324 ensures its reliability in various environments, making it a suitable choice for data centers and enterprise networks alike. With its combination of performance, scalability, and security features, the Dell 5324 stands out as a capable solution for organizations looking to improve their network infrastructure. Its capabilities make it a versatile addition for businesses aiming for a robust and future-ready networking environment.
