5.2.25 Static Filtering
Multicasts are similar to broadcasts, they are sent to all end stations on a LAN or VLAN. Static
filtering is the function for users to configure a list of multicast groups by specifying the multicast
MAC address and member ports for each entry. A multicast MAC address is expressed in the
format with a 24-bit prefix: 01-00-5E (Hexadecimal). For example, you should give a multicast
MAC address like 01-00-5E-xx-xx-xx for the multicast group from which end stations can receive
multicast traffic via the connected ports which have been included in the specific multicast
groups. With multicast filtering, network devices only forward multicast traffic to the ports that
are connected to the registered end stations.
• MAC Address: Assign a multicast group MAC address in the format of 01-00-5E-xx-xx-xx.
• Member Ports: Tick the checkboxes beside the port number to include them as the
member ports in the specific multicast group MAC address.
• Click Add to append a static filter of multicast group, or select the filter listed in the field
and click Delete to remove it.
