Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switch Administration Guide 

To statically configure or see dynamically-detected ports connected to the 
Multicast router:

Click Multicast > Multicast Router Port.

Enter some or all of following query filter criteria:

•

VLAN ID equals to—Select the VLAN ID for the router ports that are 
described.

•

IP Version equals to—Select the IP version that the Multicast router 
supports.

•

Interface Type equals to—Select whether to display ports or LAGs.

Click Go. The interfaces matching the query criteria are displayed.

For each port or LAG, select its association type. The options are as follows:

•

Static—The port is statically configured as a Multicast router port.

•

Dynamic—(Display only) The port is dynamically configured as a Multicast 
router port by a MLD/IGMP query. To enable the dynamic learning of 
Multicast router ports, go to the Multicast > IGMP Snooping page, and the 
Multicast > MLD Snooping page

•

Forbidden—This port is not to be configured as a Multicast router port, even 
if IGMP or MLD queries are received on this port. If Forbidden is enabled on 
a port, Mrouter is not learned on this port (i.e. MRouter Ports Auto-Learn is not 
enabled on this port).

•

None—The port is not currently a Multicast router port.

Click Apply to update the device. 

The Forward All page enables and displays the configuration of the ports and/or 
LAGs that are to receive Multicast streams from a specific VLAN. This feature 
requires that Bridge Multicast filtering in the Properties page be enabled. If it is 
disabled, then all Multicast traffic is flooded to ports in the device.

You can statically (manually) configure a port to Forward All, if the devices 
connecting to the port do not support IGMP and/or MLD.
