Static Multicast Address Configuration
The Static Multicast Address Table, shown in Figure 6-25, can be used to
assign a destination MAC address (and the corresponding ports) to the
VLAN group used for a specific multicast service. Static multicast address-
es are never aged out, and traffic with these addresses can only be forward-
ed to ports specified in this table.
• VLAN - The VLAN corresponding to this multicast service.
• Address - The destination MAC address for a multicast service.
• Port - The ports to which this multicast traffic can be forwarded. Read
the numbers vertically; they range from 1-26. For each port number,
there are two choices:
If the letter "M" is present, it indicates that the VLAN has access to
messages transmitted by that particular port.
If there is no letter "M," then there is no access to messages trans-
mitted by that particular port.
Select Apply to make changes. Select OK to return to the previous panel.
