Assigning User Ports To A Multicast Vlan - HP FlexNetwork 7500 Series Configuration Manual

Assigning user ports to a multicast VLAN

You can assign multiple user ports to a multicast VLAN in multicast VLAN view, or assign one user
port to a multicast VLAN in interface view.
When you perform this task, follow these guidelines:
•
The VLAN to be configured as a multicast VLAN must exist.
•
A port can be assigned to only one 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. As a best practice, manually remove
some entries to allow new entries to be created.
To set the maximum number of multicast VLAN forwarding entries:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Set the maximum number of
2.
multicast VLAN forwarding
entries.
