Multicast Forwarding Support

Multicast forwarding allows a single packet to be forwarded to multiple destinations. L2 Multicast
service is based on L2 switch receiving a single packet addressed to a specific Multicast address.
Multicast forwarding creates copies of the packet, and transmits the packets to the relevant ports.
The device supports:
• Forwarding L2 Multicast Packets — Enabled by default, and not configurable.
The system supports Multicast filtering for 63 Multicast groups.
NOTE:
• Filtering L2 Multicast Packets — Enables forwarding of Layer 2 packets to interfaces. If
Multicast filtering is disabled, Multicast packets are flooded to all relevant ports.
To open the Multicast Support page, click Switch Multicast Support in the tree view.
