Membership page. 
Multicast Group to VLAN
You can map up to 256 ranges of IPv4 addresses to a Multicast TV VLAN. In each range you 
can configure the full scope of Multicast addresses.
To define the Multicast TV VLAN configuration:
STEP 1 Click VLAN Management > Access Port Multicast TV VLAN > Multicast Group to 
VLAN.
The following fields are displayed:
• Multicast TV VLAN—VLAN to which the Multicast packets are assigned.
• Multicast Group Start—First IPv4 address of the Multicast group. 
• Group End—Final IPv4 address of the Multicast group range. 
Group registration All Multicast group 
registration is dynamic.
Groups must be associated to 
Multicast VLAN statically, but 
actual registration of station is 
dynamic.
Receiver ports VLAN can be used to both 
send and receive traffic (both 
Multicast and Unicast).
Multicast VLAN can only be 
used to receive traffic by the 
stations on the port (only 
Multicast).
Security and Isolation Receivers of same multicast 
stream are on the same data 
VLAN and can communicate 
with each other
Receivers of same multicast 
stream are in different Access 
VLANs and isolated from each 
other
