Defining Multicast Forwarding
The Multicast Forward Page contains fields for attaching ports or LAGs to a device that is attached to
a neighboring Multicast router/switch. Once IGMP Snooping is enabled, Multicast packets are
forwarded to the appropriate port or VLAN.
The Multicast Forward Page contains the following fields:
•
VLAN ID — Displays the VLAN ID.
•
Ports — Displays the Multicast Forwarding status of all of the device's ports.
•
LAGs — Displays the Multicast Forwarding status of all of the device's LAGs.
•
Interface — Indicates the port or LAG whose Multicast forwarding configuration is
described.
•
Interface Status — Displays the interface status of the port or LAG. The options are as
follows:
–
Static — Attaches the interface to the Multicast group as a static member.
–
Forbidden — Forbidden interfaces are not included the Multicast group, even if IGMP
snooping designated the interface to join a Multicast group.
–
Dynamic — Attaches the interface or LAG dynamically to the Multicast group.
–
Excluded — The interface is not part of a Multicast group.
