Configuring Multicast Forwarding
Page 157
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.
2. Select interfaces to modify.
