Multicast Forward All

When Bridge Multicast Filtering is enabled, Multicast packets to registered
Multicast groups are forwarded to ports based on IGMP Snooping and MLD
snooping. If Bridge Multicast Filtering is disabled, all Multicast packets are
flooded to the corresponding VLAN.
You can statically (manually) configure a port to Forward All, if the devices
connecting to the port do not support IGMP and/or MLD, or the port is
connected to a neighboring Multicast router/switch.
Multicast packets, excluding IGMP and MLD messages, are always forwarded
to ports that are defined as Forward All.
The configuration affects only the ports that are members of the selected
VLAN.
To attach interfaces to a Multicast service:
1 Click Network Administration > Multicast > Multicast Forward All.
2 Select a VLAN.
3 Select the Interface Type: Port or LAG. The status of all interfaces is
displayed.
