•

IP Group Address—Based on the destination IP address of the IP packet 
(*,G).

•

Source Specific IP Group Address—Based on both the destination IP 
address and the source IP address of the IP packet (S,G).

By selecting the forwarding mode, you can define the method used by hardware 
to identify Multicast flow by one of the following options: MAC Group Address, IP 
Group Address, or Source Specific IP Group Address.

(S,G) is supported by IGMPv3 and MLDv2, while IGMPv1/2 and MLDv1 support 
only (*.G), which is just the group ID.

The device supports a maximum of 256 static and dynamic Multicast group 
addresses. 

To enable Multicast filtering, and select the forwarding method: 

Click Multicast > Properties.

Enter the parameters.

•

Bridge Multicast Filtering Status—Select to enable filtering. 

•

VLAN ID—Select the VLAN ID to set its forwarding method.

•

Forwarding Method for IPv6—Set one of the following forwarding 
methods for IPv6 addresses: MAC Group Address, IP Group Address, or 
Source Specific IP Group Address.

•

Forwarding Method for IPv4—Set one of the following forwarding 
methods for IPv4 addresses: MAC Group Address, IP Group Address, or 
Source Specific IP Group Address.

Click Apply. The Running Configuration file is updated.

The device supports forwarding incoming Multicast traffic based on the Multicast 
group information. This information is derived from the IGMP/MLD packets 
received or as the result of manual configuration, and it is stored in the Multicast 
Forwarding Database (MFDB).
