CAUTION:
If you switch IGMP snooping from version 3 to version 2, the system will clear all IGMP snooping
forwarding entries from dynamic joins, and will:
•
Keep forwarding entries for version 3 static (*, G) joins.
•
Clear forwarding entries from version 3 static (S, G) joins, which will be restored when IGMP
snooping is switched back to version 3.
For more information about static joins, see "

Configuring static multicast MAC address entries
In Layer-2 multicast, a Layer 2 multicast protocol, such as IGMP snooping, can dynamically add
multicast MAC address entries. You can also configure static multicast MAC address entries.
Configuring a static multicast MAC address entry in system view
Follow these steps to configure a static multicast MAC address entry in system view:
To do...
Use the command...
Remarks
Enter system view

—
Configure a static multicast MAC
address entry
mac-address multicast
mac-address
interface
interface-list
vlan
vlan-id
Required
No static multicast MAC address
entries exist by default.
Configuring a static multicast MAC address entry in interface view
Follow these steps to configure static multicast MAC address entries in interface view:
To do...
Use the command...
Remarks
Enter system view

—
Enter Ethernet interface/Layer 2
aggregate interface view or port
group view
interface
interface-type
interface-number
Required
In Ethernet interface view or
Layer 2 aggregate interface view,
the configuration takes effect only
on the current interface, but in
port group view, the configuration
takes effect on all ports in the port
group.

NOTE:
•
When you configure a static multicast MAC address entry in system view, the configuration is
effective for the specified interface. When you configure a static multicast MAC address entry in
interface view or port group view, the configuration is effective only for the current interface or
interfaces in the current port group.
•
Any multicast MAC address except 0100-5Exx-xxxx (where x represents a hexadecimal number
from 0 to F) can be manually added to the multicast MAC address table. A multicast MAC
address is a MAC address with the least significant bit of the most significant octet as 1.
