Filter All Unregistered Filters all unregistered multicast packets.
Forward All Forwards all multicast packets according to VLAN assignment.
Forward All Unregistered Forwards all unregistered multicast packets.
Select the filter mode option, highlight APPLY and press Enter to enable the option.

E Egress membership specifies the port as being a static member of the multicast group. Egress Member
Ports are ports that will be transmitting traffic for the multicast group.
- Non-member status specifies the port as not being a member of the multicast group, but the port can
become a member of the multicast group dynamically.
Highlight APPLY and press Enter to apply the Multicast Forwarding settings. Use the Save Changes menu to
