Chapter 12 Configuring Multicast Routing
MForwarding
MForwarding
The MForwarding pane lets you disable and reenable multicast forwarding on a per interface basis. By
default, multicast forwarding is enabled on all interfaces.
When multicast forwarding is disabled on an interface, the interface does not accept any multicast
packets unless specifically configured through other methods. IGMP packets are also prevented when
multicast forwarding is disabled.
Fields

to select the interface. Double-click an interface name to toggle the Multicast Forwarding
Enabled status for the interface.

specified interface. Displays No if multicast forwarding is disabled on the specified interface.
Double-click this entry to toggle Yes/No for the selected interface.
Enable—Enables multicast forwarding on the selected interface.
