User Guidelines
If devices exist on the VLAN, do not change the unregistered multicast addresses state to
drop on the devices ports.
If multicast routers exist on the VLAN and IGMP-snooping is not enabled, the
bridge
multicast forward-all
command should be used to enable forwarding all multicast packets to
the multicast routers.
Example
In this example, bridge multicast filtering is enabled.
