Multicast ARP tab
The Multicast ARP table is a new feature in Device Manager. In layer 3, the switch must be able to route an IP frame to a unicast IP address and flood it with a destination multicast MAC address. You must manually define a static ARP entry that associates an IP address with a multicast MAC address and flooding ports and MLT.
To configure the MAC address for layer 3 multicast flooding:
- From the Device Manager window menu bar, choose IP Routing > IP.
| The IP dialog box opens with the Globals tab displayed. |
- Click the Multicast ARP tab.
| The Multicast ARP tab opens. |
The table below describes the Multicast ARP tab items.
|
VlanId
|
VLAN ID of the multicast ARP entry.
|
MacAddress
|
MAC address of the multicast ARP entry.
|
IpAddress
|
IP address of the multicast ARP entry (needs to be on the same subnet as on the VLAN ID).
|
Ports
|
The forwarding ports selected to receive the multicast flooding.
|
MltIds
|
The IDs of the MLT members of the multicast ARP entry.
