destination address is a multicast address.

GigaSwitch Cut Through Mapping
The GigaSwitch Cut Through Mapping table allows the user to enable or
disable the Inbound or Outbound Cut Through Mapping application for each
of the GigaSwitch Bridge Ports. The Cut Through Mapping feature allows
packets with known IP addresses to travel through the GigaSwitch with out
being temporarily stored within the GigaSwitch. Packets without known IP
addresses for their destination are temporarily delayed while the GigaSwitch
learns the IP address.
The default setting for each of the Bridge Ports is Enabled for both the
Inbound and Outbound Cut Through Mapping applications.
