Configuring multicast source port filtering
When the multicast source port filtering feature is enabled on a port, the port can connect to only
multicast receivers rather than to multicast sources, because the port blocks all multicast data packets but
it permits multicast protocol packets to pass.
If this feature is disabled on a port, the port can connect to both multicast sources and multicast receivers.
Configuring multicast source port filtering globally

Configuring the function of dropping unknown multicast data
Unknown multicast data refers to multicast data for which no entries exist in the IGMP snooping
forwarding table. When the switch receives such multicast traffic, the switch floods unknown multicast
data in the VLAN that the unknown multicast data belongs to, causing network bandwidth waste and low
forwarding efficiency.
