Configuring Suppression on the Multicast Source Port
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.
