MAC Group Address

MAC Group Address
The MAC Group Address page has the following functions:
• Query and view information from the Multicast Forwarding Data Base (MFDB), relating to a specific
VLAN ID or a specific MAC address group. This data is acquired either dynamically through IGMP/
MLD snooping or statically by manual entry.
• Add or delete static entries to the MFDB that provide static forwarding information, based on MAC
destination addresses.
• Display a list of all ports/LAGs that are a member of each VLAN ID and MAC address group, and
enter whether traffic is forwarded to it or not.
