Configure Multicast

Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group. Host groups for IPv4 multicast are
identified by class D addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Host
groups for IPv6 multicast are identified by the prefix ff00::/8.

When you limit multicast transmissions to only certain ports on the switch, traffic is not
forwarded to parts of the network where it is not needed.
