Defining Multicast Bridging Groups
The Multicast Group Page displays the ports and LAGs attached to the Multicast service group in the Ports and
LAGs tables. The Port and LAG tables also reflect the manner in which the port or LAGs joined the Multicast
group. Ports can be added either to existing groups or to new Multicast service groups. The
Multicast Group Page
permits new Multicast service groups to be created. The Multicast Group Page also assigns ports to a specific
Multicast service address group. To define Multicast groups:
