Assigning User Ports To A Multicast Vlan; Setting The Maximum Number Of Multicast Vlan Forwarding Entries - HP FlexFabric 5950 series Configuration Manual

Assigning user ports to a multicast VLAN

You can assign user ports to a multicast VLAN in multicast VLAN view or assign a user port to a
multicast VLAN in interface view. These configurations have the same priority.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you assign user ports to a multicast VLAN, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
The VLAN to be configured as a multicast VLAN must exist.
•
A port can belong to only one multicast VLAN.
Configuration procedure
To assign user ports to a multicast VLAN in multicast VLAN view:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a VLAN as a
multicast VLAN and enter its
view.
3. Assign ports to the multicast
VLAN.
To assign a user port to a multicast VLAN in interface view:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a VLAN as a
multicast VLAN and enter its
view.
3. Return to system view.
4. Enter interface view.
5. Assign the current port to the
multicast VLAN.
Setting the maximum number of multicast VLAN
forwarding entries
You can set the maximum number of multicast VLAN forwarding entries on the device. When the
upper limit is reached, the device does not create multicast VLAN forwarding entries until some
entries age out or are manually removed.
If the total number of the entries exceeds the upper limit value that you are setting, the system does
not automatically remove existing entries or create new entries. In this case, remove excess entries
manually.
To set the maximum number of multicast VLAN forwarding entries:
Step
1. Enter system view.
