Multicast Addresses from

IP Multicast Filtering

Each multicast host group is identified by a single IP address in the range of
224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. Specific groups of consecutive addresses
in this range are termed "well-known" addresses and are reserved for pre-
defined host groups. IGMP does not filter these addresses, so any packets the
switch receives for such addresses are flooded out all ports assigned to the
VLAN on which they were received (except the port on which the packets
entered the VLAN).
The following table lists the 32 well-known address groups (8192 total
addresses) that IGMP does not filter on.
