Layer 2 Static Multicast Configuration - UTStarcom iSpirit 3026 Manual

transmission table either by learning dynamically from IGMP SNOOPING, or by static
configuration. IGMP SNOOPING will only include IP address, while static configuration may
have non-IP address.
As said before, unregistered mode will be used for the hardware transmission table if IGMP
SNOOPING is closed, when no address will be added through dynamic learning. So the table
will be empty without static configuration. To limit broadcast range, users can add static multicast
entries that can specify the output ports list and thus reduce multicast data flow in the network.
When multicast is widely used in the network, users can enable IGMP SNOOPING on the switch
in order to limit multicast data flow. Then registered mode will be used, and multicast address
can be learned dynamically. Only multicast flow with matched entries will be transmitted. For
those that can't be learned but need to be transmitted, users can add static addresses to the
table.
When both of static configuration and dynamic learning have the same entry, the output ports list
will be the union of their ports. When deleting static entries, only static configured ports are
removed, while dynamic ones are kept; and so is deleting dynamic entries, i.e., when dynamic
entries become invalid, only dynamic ports are deleted, while static ones are kept.

6.2 Layer 2 static multicast configuration

By default there is no static multicast configuration on the iSpirit 3026 switch.
This section describes how to configure static multicast:
To configure Layer 2 static multicast addresses;
To show Layer 2 multicast address information
1. To configure Layer 2 static multicast addresses
It's easy to configure Layer 2 static multicast addresses, including creating multicast address
entries and adding output ports to them, and deleting multicast address entries and removing
output ports from them.
To create multicast entries and adding output ports under overall mode. Input
parameters: VLAN ID, multicast MAC address and output ports list. If the entry doesn't exist, a
new one will be created with the specified output ports list; Otherwise if it already exists, the
specified output ports list will be added to it.
multicast <vlanid> <mac-address> {<port>|<port1-port2>} [<port>|<port1-port2>] ...
To delete multicast entries and removing output ports under overall mode. Input
parameters: VLAN ID and multicast MAC address, while the output ports list is optional. Without
