NOTE

If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) or port-based VLANs are currently active and you want to enable MAC address filtering, you must assign each multicast filter to a specific VLAN.

Description

You can use Ethernet multicast filters to define which ports can receive multicast traffic from a specific multicast MAC address.

VLAN/VLAN ID: Indicates VLAN or VLAN ID. If VLANs are active on the switch you can set Ethernet multicast filtering on a per VLAN basis. For port-based VLANs, press z to select the name of VLAN. For tag-based VLANs, type the VLAN ID in the Multicast address field.

Multicast address: Indicates the MAC address you want to add, delete, or apply a filter to.

ADD/DELETE: Adds or removes a MAC address from the switch’s table.

To adding or deleting a multicast filter

1In the Multicast address field, type a multicast address.

2If the switch is running tag-based or port-based VLANs, select a VLAN to locate the filter.

3To add a filter, select ADD using the arrow keys and press E.

4To remove a filter, type the MAC address in the Multicast field, select DELETE, and then press E.
