• Static. The interface becomes a static member of the multicast group on the selected
VLAN.

VLAN.
• Excluded. The interface is not a static member of the multicast group but could
become a dynamic member of a multicast group on the selected VLAN. This is the
default state.
Note: If an interface was added dynamically to the multicast group as a result
of IGMP or MLD snooping, the status of the interface is Dynamic. You
cannot select this status manually.

Configure the Multicast Forward All Option

After IGMP snooping is enabled, multicast packets are forwarded only to the members of
multicast groups. However, you can enable the Multicast Forward All option for an interface
so that the interface receives and forwards all multicast traffic on the VLAN.
