3.1.1 Configuring Suppression on the Multicast Source Port
 Note:
Only the S3100-EI series support multicast source port suppression.
Some users may deploy unauthorized multicast servers on the network. This affects
the use of network bandwidth and transmission of multicast data of authorized users by
taking network resources. You can configure multicast source port suppression on
certain ports to prevent unauthorized multicast servers attached to these ports from
sending multicast traffic to the network.
