Revision 050908 Page 39 of 101Bridging – Multicast AddressesThe Multicast Addresses tab under the Bridging category will display a list of Multicast Group Addressesthat are associated with respective port numbers. This may be used to statically assign a Multicast GroupAddress access to a group of ports on the switch.Following the Add button on the page above, the administrator must enter a valid Multicast Group Addressand associate it with a port number or list on the switch. Once the administrator clicks on the Add button,the changes will take effect instantly.Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 708 will apply the static multicast address to thelowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. Soif the lowest VLAN-ID contains all the ports assigned to the static multicast address (an umbrellaVLAN), it will function for all those ports with no problems. This can be achieved with overlappingVLANs.
