Viewing the MAC Group Address Table
To view the MAC Group Address Table, click Multicast > MAC Group Address in
the navigation window.
By default, all entries display in the table. You can use the VLAN ID and MAC Group
Address filters to display only entries that match the specified values. The
following fields display:
•
Type—Indicates whether the entry is statically configured or dynamically
learned.
•
VLAN ID—VLAN ID to which multicast packets are forwarded when they
match the specified multicast MAC address.
•
MAC Group Address—Multicast group MAC address in hexadecimal format
that is compared to an incoming packet destination MAC address.
Adding a Static MAC Group Address Table Entry
To add a static multicast MAC address and associate it with a VLAN:
Click Add on the MAC Group Address page.
Enter the parameters:
•
VLAN ID—Select a VLAN from the list.
•
Address Type—Select IPv4 to specify an address in 32-bit IPv4 notation
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), or select MAC to specify the address in a 6-byte
hexadecimal format (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx).
•
MAC Group Address—Enter the address in the selected format. For an IPv4
address, the least significant 23 bits are mapped to an Ethernet MAC
address.
Click Apply and then click Close. The entry appears in the MAC Group Address
Table.
