information inside the ARP packet. This unicast data traffic flooding occurs only for
those packets which use these ARP entries.
mac-address-table static (for Multicast MAC Address)
To configure the multicast mode of network load balancing (NLB) on the switch, you must associate a
multicast MAC address with the VLAN used to switch Layer 2 multicast traffic, and add output ports that
will receive multicast streams on the VLAN in the MAC address table.
Syntax
mac-address-table static
multicast-mac-address
vlan
vlan-id
output-range {
single-interface | interface-list | interface-
range
}
To remove a MAC address, use the
no mac-address-table static
multicast-mac-address
vlan
vlan-id
output-range
interface
command.
Parameters
multicast-mac-
address
Enter the 48-bit hexadecimal address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
format.
vlan
vlan-id
Enter a VLAN ID used to forward L2 multicast MAC traffic to
a server cluster. Valid VLAN IDs are from 1 to 4094.
NOTE: Use this option if you want multicast functionality
in an L2 VLAN without IGMP protocols.
output-range
interface
For a multicast MAC address, enter the keyword
output-
range
then one of the following interfaces for which traffic
is forwarded:
• For a Port Channel interface, enter the keywords
port-
channel
then a number. The range is from 1 to 128.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet
then the slot/port information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE
then the slot/port information.
Defaults
Not configured.
