LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Active

Select this check box to activate your rule. You may temporarily deactivate

 

a rule without deleting it by clearing this check box.

 

 

Name

Type a descriptive name (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) for this

 

static multicast MAC address forwarding rule. This is for identification only.

 

 

MAC Address

Enter a multicast MAC address which identifies the multicast group. The

 

last binary bit of the first octet pair in a multicast MAC address must be 1.

 

For example, the first octet pair 00000001 is 01 and 00000011 is 03 in

 

hexadecimal, so 01:00:5e:00:00:0A and 03:00:5e:00:00:27 are valid

 

multicast MAC addresses.

 

 

VID

You can forward frames with matching destination MAC address to port(s)

 

within a VLAN group. Enter the ID that identifies the VLAN group here. If

 

you don’t have a specific target VLAN, enter 1.

 

 

Port

Enter the port(s) where frames with destination MAC address that matched

 

the entry above are forwarded. You can enter multiple ports separated by

 

(no space) comma (,) or hyphen (-). For example, enter “3-5” for ports 3,

 

4, and 5. Enter “3,5,7” for ports 3, 5, and 7.

 

 

Add

Click Add to save your rule to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch

 

loses this rule if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the

 

top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory

 

when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to reset the fields to their last saved values.

 

 

Clear

Click Clear to begin configuring this screen afresh.

 

 

Index

Click an index number to modify a static multicast MAC address rule for

 

port(s).
