Configuring Multicast Source Port Filtering
With the multicast source port filtering feature enabled on a port, the port can be connected with
multicast receivers only rather than with multicast sources, because the port will block all multicast data
packets while it permits multicast protocol packets to pass.
If this feature is disabled on a port, the port can be connected with both multicast sources and multicast
receivers.
