Multimedia Traffic Control with IP Multicast (IGMP)
Excluding Multicast Addresses from IP Multicast Filtering
Excluding Multicast Addresses from IP Multicast FilteringEach multicast host group is identified by a single IP address in the range of
224.0.0.0through 239.255.255.255. Specific groups of consecutive addresses in this range are termed
The following table lists the 32

* X is any value from 0 to 255.
Reserved Addresses Excluded from IP Multicast (IGMP) Filtering.Traffic to IP multicast groups in the IP address range of 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255 will always be flooded because addresses in this range are “well known” or “reserved” addresses. Thus, if IP Multicast is enabled and there is an IP multicast group within the reserved address range, traffic to that group will be flooded instead of filtered by the switch.
