bridge multicast address
The bridge multicast address Interface Configuration mode command registers MAC-layer Multicast
addresses to the bridge table, and adds static ports to the group. To unregister the MAC address, use the
no form of the bridge multicast address command.
Syntax
•
bridge multicast address {mac-multicast-address | ip-multicast-address}
•
bridge multicast address {mac-multicast-address | ip-multicast-address} [add | remove] {ethernet
interface-list | port-channel port-channel-number-list}
•
no bridge multicast address {mac-multicast-address | ip-multicast-address}
•
add — Adds ports to the group. If no option is specified, this is the default option.
•
remove — Removes ports from the group.
mac-multicast-address — MAC Multicast address in the format of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
•
•
ip- multicast-address — IP Multicast address.
•
interface-list — Separate nonconsecutive Ethernet ports with a comma and no spaces; a hyphen is
used to designate a range of ports.
•
port-channel-number-list — Separate nonconsecutive port-channels with a comma and no spaces;
a hyphen is used to designate a range of ports.
Default Configuration
No Multicast addresses are defined.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (VLAN) mode.
User Guidelines
•
If the command is executed without add or remove, the command only registers the group in the
bridge database.
•
Static Multicast addresses can only be defined on static VLANs.
Examples
The following example registers the MAC address.
Console (config)# interface vlan 8
Console (config-if)# bridge multicast address 01:00:5e:02:02:03
