73-1 create nlb multicast_fdb
Description
This command is used to create the Switch's NLB multicast FDB entry. The network load
balancing command set is used to support the Microsoft server load balancing application where
multiple servers can share the same IP address and MAC address. The requests from clients will
be forwarded to all servers, but will only be processed by one of them. In multicast mode, the client
use the multicast MAC address as the destination MAC to reach the server. Regarding of the
mode, this destination MAC is the named the shared MAC. The server uses its own MAC address
(rather than the shared MAC) as the source MAC address of the reply packet.
Format
create nlb multicast_fdb [<vlan_name 32> | vlanid <vlanid 1-4094>] <macaddr>
