addresses for multicasting.
• VLAN - The VLAN corresponding to this multicast service.
• Address - The destination MAC address for a multicast service.
• Port - The ports to which this multicast traffic can be forwarded.
Read the numbers vertically; they range from 1-26. For each port
number, there are two choices: “M” or nothing. Use the spacebar to
scroll through the choices.
Select the letter “M” to indicate that the VLAN has access to mes-
sages transmitted by that particular port.

transmitted by that particular port.
Select OK to confirm the changes. Select Cancel to cancel any changes.

Static Multicast Address Configuration
The Static Multicast Address Table can be used to assign a destination MAC
address (and the corresponding ports) to the VLAN group used for a spe-
cific multicast service. Static multicast addresses are never aged out, and
traffic with these addresses can only be forwarded to ports specified in this
table.
• VLAN - The VLAN corresponding to this multicast service.
• Address - The destination MAC address for a multicast service.
• Port - The ports to which this multicast traffic can be forwarded. Read
the numbers vertically; they range from 1-26. For each port number,
there are two choices:
If the letter “M” is present, it indicates that the VLAN has access to
messages transmitted by that particular port.
If there is no letter “M,” then there is no access to messages trans-
mitted by that particular port.
