Configure Ethernet Multicast Filtering
Description
You can use Ethernet multicast filters to define which ports can receive
multicast traffic from a specific multicast MAC address.
VLAN/VLAN ID: Indicates VLAN or VLAN ID. If VLANs are active on
the switch you can set Ethernet multicast filtering on a per VLAN basis.
For port-based VLANs, press
z to select the name of VLAN. For
tag-based VLANs, type the VLAN ID in the Multicast address field.
Multicast address: Indicates the MAC address you want to add, delete, or
apply a filter to.
ADD/DELETE: Adds or removes a MAC address from the switch’s table.
To adding or deleting a multicast filter
1
In the Multicast address field, type a multicast address.

If the switch is running tag-based or port-based VLANs, select a VLAN
to locate the filter.
3
To add a filter, select ADD using the arrow keys and press
E.
