Viewing All of Multicast Forwarding Database Tables Page

The Multicast Forwarding Database holds the port membership information for all active
multicast address entries. The key for an entry consists of a VLAN ID and MAC address pair.
Entries may contain data for more than one protocol.

Use this screen to display the MFDB information for a specific entry. To display all of the
entries for a particular protocol use one of the following menus:

MAC Filter Summary - Static MAC address filtering entries

MFDB GMRP Table - GARP Multicast Registration Protocol entries

MFDB IGMP Snooping Table - IGMP Snooping entries

Selection Criteria

MAC Address - Enter the VLAN ID - MAC Address pair whose MFDB table entry you want displayed.
Enter eight two-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, for example 00:01:23:43:45:67:89:AB.
The first two two-digit hexadecimal numbers are the VLAN ID and the remaining numbers are the MAC
address. Then click on the "Search" button. If the address exists, that entry will be displayed. An exact
match is required.
