Configuring static multicast MAC address entries

About static multicast MAC address entries

In Layer 2 multicast, multicast MAC address entries can be dynamically created through Layer 2 multicast protocols (such as IGMP snooping). You can also manually configure static multicast MAC address entries by binding multicast MAC addresses and ports to control the destination ports of the multicast data.

Restrictions and guidelines

You must specify an unused multicast MAC address when configuring a static multicast MAC address entry. A multicast MAC address is the MAC address in which the least significant bit of the most significant octet is 1.
