Introduction
Intelligent multicasting refers to the forwarding of multicast traffic (packets
with a multicast destination MAC address) within a VLAN to a subset of
ports participating in that VLAN. It limits the forwarding of multicast traffic
to only those ports on the VLAN with clients that want to receive this
multicast traffic.
When disabled, intelligent multicasting floods layer 2 multicast traffic to all
ports on the VLAN on which the traffic is received.
