TX1 Untagged 01:00:00:00:00:01 TX2
Goes to ports TX1-TX8, but TX1 can only
send to TX2 (VLAN 4)
TX3 Untagged 01:00:00:00:00:02 TX6, TX8
Goes to ports TX2, TX6-TX8 (VLAN 3) but
filter keeps it on ports TX6 and TX8 only
TX2 Untagged 01:00:00:00:00:01 TX1,TX3-TX8
Goes to ports TX1-TX8, but won’t go back
out the port it came in on
TX2 Untagged 01:00:00:00:00:02 TX1,TX3-TX8 Goes to ports TX1,TX3-TX8
TX3 Untagged 01:00:00:00:00:01 TX2, TX4-TX8 Goes to ports TX2, TX4-TX8
TX6 Untagged 01:00:00:00:00:02 TX8 Goes to port TX8
TX3 Untagged 01:00:00:00:00:02 TX6, TX8 Goes to ports TX6 and TX8
Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 714FX6 will apply the static multicast address to
the lowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. If the
lowest VLAN-ID contains all the ports assigned to the static multicast address (an umbrella VLAN), it will
function for all those ports with no problems. This can be achieved with overlapping VLANs.
