Figure 6-43. Port GMRP Configuration screen
This screen allows you to
Enable
or
Disable
Group Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP) globally for each
port. When GMRP is
Enabled,
a user attached to the port’s Ethernet segment can dynamically join a
multicast group. When GMRP is
Disabled,
then no dynamic multicast group registration is allowed on this
port.
Choose
Configure Static Multicast Forwarding
from the of the
GMRP Configuration
screen (when the
switch is in

mode) to access the following screen:
Figure 6-44. Static Multicast Forwarding Table Configuration screen
The fields you can set are:
♦
VID
Enter a VLAN ID from 1 to 4094. This is the VLAN that will be defined on this screen. VID 1 is the
default VLAN. All ports are designated members of VID 1 when VLANs are enabled.
♦
MAC Address
This is the MAC address of a user that will statically receive multicast packets.
♦
Egress/Forbidden/Non-Member
Position the cursor over the dash “–“ representing the appropriate
port number and press <space bar> to select
E
for Egress,
F
for Forbidden or leave the dash “–“. An
E
designates the specified port as a static member of the multicast group. An
F
defines the port as a non-
member and also forbids the port from joining the multicast group dynamically. A dash (–) means the port
is not given multicast group membership for the VID entered above.
