Using Local Management
Configure Ethernet Multicast Filtering
Description
Ethernet multicast filters allow you to define which ports can receive
multicast traffic from a specific multicast MAC address. This is similar to
IGMP snooping, except you define everything manually.
VLAN/VLAN ID: If VLANs are active on the switch you can set Ethernet
Multicast filtering on a per VLAN basis. For port-based VLANs, press the
z to select the name of VLAN. For tag-based VLANs, type in the
VLAN ID where the multicast address belongs.
Multicast address: Type the MAC address you want to apply a filter to.
ADD: Press e to activate the filter and add the address to the list.
DELETE: Press e to removes the filter for the specified address.
Adding/Deleting a multicast filter
1 Type a multicast address in the Multicast address field.
2 If the switch is running tag-based or port-based VLANs, select a VLAN
to locate the filter.
3 Select ADD using the arrow keys and press e.
4 To remove a filter, type in the MAC address in the Multicast field,
select DELETE, and press e.
