Defining Multicast Forward All Settings

The Multicast Forward-ALL Page allows users to define the ports which are filtered by the IGMP snooping protocol. The IGMP Snooping protocol filters ports during the forwarding process to a neighboring Multicast router or switch. Ports can either be defined as:

Forbidden — Excluded from IGMP Learned Port List.

Forwarded — Added to the IGMP Learned Port List. The IGMP snooping interprets Forward (static) ports as statically configured Multicast ports that propagates IGMP reports and data. The Forward also adds the Multicast Group Forward (static) ports to the Forward-All Forward (static) ports list.

To define multicast forward all settings:

1.Click Layer 2 > Multicast > Multicast Forward All. The Multicast Forward All Page opens:
