Limited IP Multicast Address
The
Limited IP Multicast Range
window allows the user to specify which multicast address(es) reports are to be received on
specified ports on the switch. This function will therefore limit the number of reports received and the number of multicast groups
configured on the switch. The user may set an IP address or range of IP addresses to accept reports (Permit) or deny reports
(Deny) coming into the specified switch ports. The
Limited IP Multicast
