A multicast filter set allows server ports to have multiple multicast filters assigned to them. Administrators can create a multicast filter set by grouping multicast filters using some unique criteria such as service-based grouping. Users can create a maximum of 128 filter sets in a domain. The Multicast Filter Set screen is accessible to all users, but only users with domain, server, or network role permissions can add, edit, and delete multicast filter sets.

To view filters that are members of a multicast filter set, click the multicast filter set name. To add a multicast filter set:

1.Click Add.

2.Enter a unique name for the set. The name can consist of up to 64 alphanumeric characters, including the hyphen (-), underscore (_), and period (.).

3.(Optional) Select a color for the set.

4.(Optional) Enter a label for the set.

5.Drag and drop multicast filters that should be members of the filter set from the Excluded filter set field to the Included filter set field.

6.Click Apply.

To edit a multicast filter set:

1.Click on the set to edit.

2.Make any changes.

3.Click Apply.

A multicast filter can be removed from a multicast filter set, or a filter rule can be deleted from a multicast filter while it is associated with a profile Ethernet connections. In this case, for all existing IGMP groups the server port is a member of, the port is deleted from the group when the idle timer expires.

To delete a multicast filter set, highlight the set, and then click Delete.
