Configure the multicast mode for one or
more ports
By default, if the switch detects multicast traffic on a port, it allows the traffic on the port.
You can also force the switch to use one or more specific ports to process multicast
traffic. As another option, you can block multicast traffic from selected networks on one
or more ports.
Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group. Host groups are identified
by class D IP addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. If you choose
to block multicast traffic on one or more ports, you can select one, several, or all of these
multicast address ranges.
To configure the multicast mode for one or more ports:
1. Launch a web browser.
2.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
3.
In the Login Name field, enter admin as the user name, in the Password field, enter
your local device password, and click the AV UI Login button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The Overview page displays.
4.
Select Configure > Multicast.
The Multicast page displays.
5. Select the port or ports to which the settings must apply by clicking individual ports
or, to select all ports, select the Select All Ports check box.
6. From the Multicast Mode menu, select the multicast mode:
•
Default: Multicast traffic is allowed on the selected port or ports based on the
protocols that the switch detects.
This is the default mode.
•
Force Multicast: Multicast traffic is forced through the selected port or ports.
•
Block Multicast: Multicast traffic from the networks that you select (see the next
step) is blocked on the selected port or ports.
