When Bridge Multicast Filtering is enabled, Multicast packets to registered
Multicast groups are forwarded to ports based on IGMP Snooping and MLD
snooping. If Bridge Multicast Filtering is disabled, all Multicast packets are
flooded to the corresponding VLAN
The Forward All page configures the ports and/or LAGs that are to receive
Multicast streams from a specific VLAN. This feature requires that Bridge Multicast

You can statically (manually) configure a port to Forward All, if the devices
connecting to the port do not support IGMP and/or MLD.

ports that are defined as Forward All. The configuration affects only the ports that
are members of the selected VLAN.
