multicast
Overview
Use this command to enable a device port to route multicast packets that ingress
the port.
Use the
no
variant of this command to stop the device port from routing multicast
packets that ingress the port. Note that this does not affect Layer 2 forwarding of
multicast packets. If you enter
no multicast
on a port, multicast packets received
on that port will not be forwarded to other VLANs, but ports in the same VLANs as
the receiving port will still receive the multicast packets.
CAUTION
:
We do not recommend disabling multicast routing in a live network. Some
non-multicast protocols use multicast packets and will not function correctly if you
disable it.
