Configuring Multicast Forwarding

Multicast forwarding allows a single packet to be forwarded to multiple destinations. L2 Multicast service is
based on L2 switch receiving a single packet addressed to a specific multicast address. Multicast forwarding
creates copies of the packet, and transmits the packets to the relevant ports.
• Registered Multicast traffic – If traffic addressed to a registered multicast group is seen it is handled
by an entry in the Multicast Filtering Database and forwarded only to the registered ports.
• Unregistered Multicast traffic – If traffic addressed to an unregistered multicast group is seen it is
handled by a special entry in the Multicast Filtering Database. The default setting of this is to flood all
such traffic (traffic in unregistered multicast groups).
