Multicast Forwarding Database Table
The Layer 2 Multicast Forwarding Database (MFDB) is used by the switch to make
forwarding decisions for packets that arrive with a multicast destination MAC address. By
limiting multicasts to only certain ports in the switch, traffic is prevented from going to parts of
the network where that traffic is unnecessary.
