Configuring Multicast Source Port Filtering; Enabling Dropping Unknown Multicast Data - HP FlexFabric 5700 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring a multicast group policy on a port
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view or Layer 2
aggregate interface view.
3. Configure a multicast group
policy on the port.

Configuring multicast source port filtering

This feature enables the switch to discard all multicast data packets and to accept multicast protocol
packets. You can enable this feature on ports that connect only to multicast receivers.
You can enable multicast source port filtering for the specified ports in IGMP-snooping view or for the
current port in interface view. These configurations have the same priority.
Configuring multicast source port filtering globally
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter IGMP-snooping view.

Enabling dropping unknown multicast data

This feature enables the switch to drop all unknown multicast data. Unknown multicast data refers to
multicast data for which no forwarding entries exist in the IGMP snooping forwarding table.
If you do not enable this feature, the unknown multicast data is flooded in the VLAN to which the data
belongs.
To enable dropping unknown multicast data for a VLAN:
Step
1. Enter system view.
