Display Message
Mac Address: A unicast MAC address for which the IBP has forwarding and/or filtering
information. The format is 6 or 8 two-digit hexadecimal numbers that are separated by
colons, for example 01:23:45:67:89:AB. In an IVL system the MAC address will be displayed
as 8 bytes. In an SVL system, the MAC address will be displayed as 6 bytes. Note: This
software version only supports IVL systems.
Type: This displays the type of the entry. Static entries are those that are configured by the
end user. Dynamic entries are added to the table as a result of a learning process or
protocol.
Source: The component that is responsible for this entry in the Multicast Forwarding
Database. Possible values are IGMP Snooping, and Static Filtering.
Description: The text description of this multicast table entry.
Interfaces: The list of interfaces that are designated for forwarding (Fwd:) and filtering (Flt:).
Forwarding Interfaces: The resultant forwarding list is derived from combining all the
component’s forwarding interfaces and removing the interfaces that are listed as the static
filtering interfaces.
