Bridging – Multicast Addresses, Continued… After adding a Multicast Group Address it will appear on the main list and will show the associated ports
that go along with that address.
Following the Delete button on the page above, the administrator will be presented with a li st of Multicast
Group Addresses that are configured on the switch. Using the pull down menu the administrator should
select the desired port to be removed. Then click on the Delete button at the bottom of the page.
Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 7014 will apply the static multicast address to t he
lowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. So if
the lowest VLAN-ID cont ains all the ports assigned to the static multicast address (an umbrella
VLAN), it will function for all those ports with no problems. This can be achieved with overlapping
VLANs.
