Enabling dropping unknown multicast data
Unknown multicast data refers to multicast data for which no forwarding entries exist in the IGMP
snooping forwarding table. When the switch receives such multicast traffic, one of the following occurs:
•
When the function of dropping unknown multicast data is disabled, the switch floods unknown
multicast data in the VLAN to which the unknown multicast data belongs.
•
When the function of dropping unknown multicast data is enabled, the switch drops all received
unknown multicast data.
To enable dropping unknown multicast data in a VLAN:
Step Command

Enter system view.
