Add Multicast Address Entry

The Add Static Address Entry screen allows you to add static

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.

Select a blank space to indicate that there is no access to messages
transmitted by that particular port.

Select OK to confirm the changes. Select Cancel to cancel any changes.
