Enabling multicast source port filtering

This feature enables the switch to discard all multicast data packets and to accept multicast protocol packets. You can enable this feature on ports that connect only to multicast receivers.

You can enable this feature for the specified ports in IGMP-snooping view or for a port in interface view. For a port, the configuration in interface view has the same priority as the configuration in IGMP-snooping view, and the most recent configuration takes effect.
