Defining Multicast Groups

The Multicast Group Page displays the ports and LAGs attached to the Multicast service group in
the Ports and LAGs tables. The Port and LAG tables also reflect the manner in which the port or
LAGs joined the Multicast group. Ports can be added either to existing groups or to new Multicast
service groups. The Multicast Group Page permits new Multicast service groups to be created.
The Multicast Group Page also assigns ports to a specific Multicast service address group.
To define Multicast groups:
1. Click Switch > Advanced > Multicast > Multicast Group. The Multicast Group Page
opens:
Figure 5-82

the device. The possible field values are:
– Checked – Enables Multicast filtering on the device.
– Unchecked – Disables Multicast filtering on the device. If Multicast filtering is
disabled, Multicast frames are flooded to all ports in the relevant VLAN. Disabled is
the default value.
