Ethernet Multicast Filtering

Description

Use Ethernet multicast filters to define which ports can receive multicast traffic from a specific multicast MAC address. This is similar to IGMP snooping, except you define everything manually.

VLAN/VLAN ID: If VLANs are active on the switch you can set Ethernet Multicast filtering for each VLAN. For port-based VLANs, press the zto select the name of VLAN. For tag-based VLANs, type the VLAN ID for the specified multicast address.

NOTE

If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) or port- based VLANs are currently run- ning, you must assign each multicast filter to a specific VLAN.

Multicast address: Type the MAC address you want to apply a filter to.

ADD: Activates the filter and adds the address to the list.

DELETE: Removes the filter for the specified address.

3Select ADD using the arrow keys and press e.
