Use the bridge multicast filtering Global Configuration mode command to

enable the filtering of Multicast addresses. Use the no form of this command

to disable Multicast address filtering.

Default Configuration

Multicast address filtering is disabled. All Multicast addresses are flooded to

all ports.

User Guidelines

When this feature is enabled, unregistered Multicast traffic (as opposed to

registered) will still be flooded.
All registered Multicast addresses will be forwarded to the Multicast groups.

There are two ways to manage Multicast groups, one is the IGMP Snooping

feature, and the other is the

bridge multicast forward-all

command.

Example

The following example enables bridge Multicast filtering.

console(config)# bridge multicast filtering
