Defining Multicast Forward All Settings

Multicast forwarding enables transmitting packets from either a specific Multicast group to a source, or from a non-
specific source to a Multicast group.

The Bridge Multicast Forward All Page contains fields for attaching ports or trunks to a device that is attached to a
neighboring Multicast router/switch. Once IGMP Snooping is enabled, Multicast packets are forwarded to the
appropriate port or VLAN. Unless trunks are defined, only a Multicast Forward All table displays.

To define Multicast forward all settings:

1.

Click Multicast > Multicast Forward All. The Multicast Forward All Page opens:

Figure 105:Multicast Forward All Page

The Multicast Forward All Page contains the following fields:

VLAN ID — Displays the VLAN for which Multicast parameters are displayed.

Select the interfaces displayed in the table.

Ports of Unit — Specifies the port and stacking member for which the Multicast Forward All settings are

displayed.

Trunk — Specifies the trunk for which the Multicast Forward All settings are displayed.

The Multicast Forward All table displays the following information, identical for ports and trunks.

Interface — Displays the interface ID.

Interface Status — Indicates the forwarding status of the selected interface. The possible values are:

Static — Attaches the port to the Multicast router or switch as a static port.

Excluded — The port is not attached to a Multicast router or switch.

Forbidden — Indicates that the port is forbidden for forward all.

Select interfaces to modify.
