Defining Multicast Forward All Settings
The Multicast Forward-ALL Page allows users to define the ports which are filtered by
the IGMP snooping protocol. The IGMP Snooping protocol filters ports during the
forwarding process to a neighboring Multicast router or switch. Ports can either be defined
as:
• Forbidden — Excluded from IGMP Learned Port List.
• Forwarded — Added to the IGMP Learned Port List. The IGMP snooping interprets
Forward (static) ports as statically configured Multicast ports that propagates IGMP
reports and data. The Forward also adds the Multicast Group Forward (static) ports to
the Forward-All Forward (static) ports list.
To define multicast forward all settings:
1. Click Layer 2 > Multicast > Multicast Forward All. The Multicast Forward All
Page opens:
