Receiving	Tagged VID	Destination	Transmitting	Notes
Port #	in packet	Address	Port #s
TX1	Untagged	01:00:00:00:00:01	TX2	Goes to ports TX1-TX8, but TX1 can only
				send to TX2 (VLAN 4)
TX3	Untagged	01:00:00:00:00:02	TX6, TX8	Goes to ports TX2, TX6-TX8 (VLAN 3) but
				filter keeps it on ports TX6 and TX8 only
TX2	Untagged	01:00:00:00:00:01	TX1,TX3-TX8	Goes to ports TX1-TX8, but won‘t go back
				out the port it came in on
TX2	Untagged	01:00:00:00:00:02	TX1,TX3-TX8	Goes to ports TX1,TX3-TX8
TX3	Untagged	01:00:00:00:00:01	TX2, TX4-TX8	Goes to ports TX2, TX4-TX8
TX6	Untagged	01:00:00:00:00:02	TX8	Goes to port TX8
TX3	Untagged	01:00:00:00:00:02	TX6, TX8	Goes to ports TX6 and TX8

Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 708 will apply the static multicast address to the lowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. If the lowest VLAN-ID contains 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.
