Configuring Multicast Forwarding
Page 155
Defining Multicast Forward All Settings
Multicast forwarding enables transmitting packets from either a specific Multicast group to a source, or from a non-
specific source to a Multicast group.
The
Bridge Multicast Forward All Page
contains fields for attaching ports or trunks to a device that is attached to a
neighboring Multicast router/switch. Once IGMP Snooping is enabled, Multicast packets are forwarded to the
appropriate port or VLAN. Unless trunks are defined, only a Multicast Forward All table displays.
To define Multicast forward all settings:
1.
Click
Multicast > Multicast Forward All

Multicast Forward All Page
opens:
