TIP:
You do not need to enable IP multicast routing before this configuration.
To configure a multicast forwarding boundary:

3.
Configure the interface as a
multicast forwarding
boundary for a multicast
group range.

By default, an interface is not a
multicast forwarding boundary.
Configuring static multicast MAC address entries
In Layer 2 multicast, multicast MAC address entries can be dynamically created or added through
Layer 2 multicast protocols (such as IGMP snooping). You can also manually configure static
multicast MAC address entries by binding multicast MAC addresses and ports to control the
destination ports of the multicast data.
TIP:
•
You do not need to enable IP multicast routing before this configuration.
•
The multicast MAC address that can be manually configured in the multicast MAC address entry must be
unused. (A multicast MAC address is the MAC address in which the least significant bit of the most
significant octet is 1.)
You can configure static multicast MAC address entries on the specified interfaces in system view or
on the current interface in interface view.
