Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 7014 will apply the static multicast address to the lowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. If the lowest VLAN-ID contains all the ports assigned to the static multicast address (an umbrella VLAN), it will function for all those ports with no problems. This can be achieved with overlapping VLANs.
