Configure Ethernet Multicast Filtering

Description

Use Ethernet multicast filters to define which ports can receive multicast
traffic from a specific multicast MAC address. This is similar to IGMP
snooping, except you define everything manually.

VLAN/VLAN ID: If VLANs are active on the switch you can set Ethernet
Multicast filtering for each VLAN. For port-based VLANs, press the
z to select the name of VLAN. For tag-based VLANs, type the
VLAN ID for the specified multicast address.

Multicast address: Type the MAC address you want to apply a filter to.

ADD:

Activates the filter and adds the address to the list.

DELETE: Removes the filter for the specified address.
