Assigning user ports to a multicast VLAN
You can assign user ports to a multicast VLAN in multicast VLAN view or assign a user port to a
multicast VLAN in interface view. These configurations have the same priority.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you assign user ports to a multicast VLAN, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
The VLAN to be configured as a multicast VLAN must exist.
•
A port can belong to only one multicast VLAN.

Setting the maximum number of multicast VLAN
forwarding entries
You can set the maximum number of multicast VLAN forwarding entries on the device. When the
upper limit is reached, the device does not create multicast VLAN forwarding entries until some
entries age out or are manually removed.
If the total number of the entries exceeds the upper limit value that you are setting, the system does
not automatically remove existing entries or create new entries. In this case, remove excess entries
manually.
