Configure Ethernet Multicast Filtering
Description
Use Ethernet multicast filters to define which ports can receive multicast
traffic from a specific multicast MAC address. This is similar to IGMP
snooping, except you define everything manually.
VLAN/VLAN ID: If VLANs are active on the switch you can set Ethernet
Multicast filtering for each VLAN. For port-based VLANs, press the
z to select the name of VLAN. For tag-based VLANs, type the
VLAN ID for the specified multicast address.
Multicast address: Type the MAC address you want to apply a filter to.
ADD: Activates the filter and adds the address to the list.
DELETE: Removes the filter for the specified address.
To add or delete a multicast filter
1 In the Multicast address field, type a multicast address.
2 If the switch is running tag-based or port-based VLANs, select a VLAN
to locate the filter.
3 Select ADD using the arrow keys and press e.
4 To remove a filter, type in the MAC address in the Multicast field, select
DELETE, and press e.
