Multicast Router Ports

Multicast Router Ports
A Multicast router (Mrouter) port is a port that connects to a Multicast router. The device includes the
Multicast router port(s) numbers when it forwards the Multicast streams and IGMP/MLD registration
messages. This is required so that the Multicast routers can, in turn, forward the Multicast streams and
propagate the registration messages to other subnets.
To statically configure or see dynamically-detected ports connected to the Multicast router:
STEP 1
STEP 2
• VLAN ID equals to—Select the VLAN ID for the router ports that are described.
• IP Version equals to—Select the IP version that the Multicast router supports.
• Interface Type equals to—Select whether to display ports or LAGs.
STEP 3
STEP 4
• Static—The port is statically configured as a Multicast router port.
• Dynamic—(Display only) The port is dynamically configured as a Multicast router port by a MLD/IGMP
query. To enable the dynamic learning of Multicast router ports, go to the Multicast > IGMP Snooping
page, and the Multicast > MLD Snooping page
• Forbidden—This port is not to be configured as a Multicast router port, even if IGMP or MLD queries
are received on this port. If Forbidden is enabled on a port, Mrouter is not learned on this port (i.e.
MRouter Ports Auto-Learn is not enabled on this port).
• None—The port is not currently a Multicast router port.
STEP 5

Forward All

The Forward All page enables configuring the ports and/or LAGs that are to receive Multicast streams from
a specific VLAN. This feature requires that Bridge Multicast filtering in the Properties page be enabled. If it
is disabled, then all Multicast traffic is flooded to ports in the device.
