When you configure a static multicast MAC address entry in system view, the configuration takes

effect on the specified interface. When you configure a static multicast MAC address entry in
interface view or port group view, the configuration takes effect on only the current interface or

interfaces in the current port group.

Configuration procedure

To configure a static multicast MAC address entry in system view:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Configure a static multicast
MAC address entry.

mac-address multicast
mac-address interface interface-list

vlan vlan-id

No static multicast MAC address
entries existing by default.

To configure a static multicast MAC address entry in interface view:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter Ethernet interface/Layer

2 aggregate interface view or
port group view.

Enter Ethernet interface/Layer

2 aggregate interface view:

interface interface-type
interface-number

Enter port group view:

port-group manual
port-group-name

In Ethernet interface view or Layer
2 aggregate interface view, the

configuration takes effect on only
the current interface. In port group

view, the configuration takes effect

on all ports in the port group.

3.

Configure a static multicast
MAC address entry.

mac-address multicast
mac-address vlan vlan-id

No static multicast MAC address
entries exist by default.

Configuring RPF check failure processing

After a multicast packet fails RPF check on a VLAN interface, it might need to be processed differently in
different networking environments instead of being simply dropped. You can enable forwarding

multicast packets that failed RPF check in the VLAN or enable delivering them to the CPU.

Configuration guidelines

After you enable forwarding multicast packets that failed RPF check in the VLAN:

Use the reset multicast forwarding-table command to clear all the forwarding entries in the
multicast forwarding table. Otherwise, this configuration cannot take effect.

If you configure the multicast programs-on-demand function in a multicast VLAN, you must use the

reset igmp-snooping group command to clear all the IGMP snooping multicast group information
in the VLAN. Otherwise this configuration cannot take effect.

For more information about the reset igmp-snooping group command, see IP Multicast Command
Reference
.

If the VLAN enabled with the multicast programs-on-demand function is not a multicast VLAN, and
a Layer 3 multicast routing protocol (such as IGMP or PIM) has been configured on the

corresponding VLAN interface, you need to use the reset igmp group port-info command to clear
