LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Active
Select this check box to activate your rule. You may temporarily deactivate a rule without
deleting it by clearing this check box.
Name
Type a descriptive name (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) for this static multicast MAC
address forwarding rule. This is for identification only.
MAC Address
Enter a multicast MAC address which identifies the multicast group. The last binary bit of the first
octet pair in a multicast MAC address must be 1. For example, the first octet pair 00000001 is 01
and 00000011 is 03 in hexadecimal, so 01:00:5e:00:00:0A and 03:00:5e:00:00:27 are valid multicast
MAC addresses.
VID
You can forward frames with matching destination MAC address to port(s) within a VLAN group.
Enter the ID that identifies the VLAN group here. If you don’t have a specific target VLAN, enter 1.
Port
Enter the port(s) where frames with destination MAC address that matched the entry above are
forwarded. You can enter multiple ports separated by (no space) comma (,) or hyphen (-). For
example, enter “3-5” for ports 3, 4, and 5. Enter “3,5,7” for ports 3, 5, and 7.
Add

link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the
non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel
Click
Cancel
to reset the fields to their last saved values.
Clear
Click

to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Index
Click an index number to modify a static multicast MAC address rule for port(s).

This field displays whether a static multicast MAC address forwarding rule is active (
Yes
) or not
(
No
). You may temporarily deactivate a rule without deleting it.
