SWITCHPORT BLOCK EGRESS-MULTICAST
Syntax
switchport block egress-multicast
Parameters
None
Mode
Port Interface mode
Description
Use this command to block egress multicast packets on ports. By default,
all ports on the switch are set to allow multicast packets.
This feature does not block multicast packets that have reserved
multicast addresses in the range of 01:80:C2:00:00:00 to
01:80:C2:00:00:0F.
If IGMP snooping is disabled on the switch, all reports are
suppressed on a port even if you enable this command. By default,
IGMP snooping is disabled on the switch. For more information
about this feature, see Chapter 25, “Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) Snooping” on page 467.
Confirmation Command
“SHOW INTERFACE” on page 221
