Assigning user ports to a multicast VLAN
To configure user ports for a multicast VLAN, you must configure a VLAN as a multicast VLAN, and
assign the desired user ports to the multicast VLAN. You can either assign the user ports to the multicast
VLAN in multicast VLAN view, or assign the user ports to the multicast VLAN in interface view.
When you configure multicast VLAN user ports, follow these guidelines:
• The VLAN to be configured as a multicast VLAN must exist.
• A port can belong to only one multicast VLAN.

Setting the maximum number of multicast VLAN
forwarding entries
You can set the maximum number of multicast VLAN forwarding entries on the device. When the upper
limit is reached, the device does not create multicast VLAN forwarding entries until some entries age out
or are manually removed.
If the total number of the entries exceeds the upper limit value that you are setting, the system does not
automatically remove existing entries or create new entries. In this case, HP recommends that you remove
extra entries manually.
