Enabling host tracking

About host tracking

This feature enables the Layer 2 device to record information about member hosts that are receiving multicast data. The information includes IP addresses of the hosts, length of time elapsed since the hosts joined multicast groups, and remaining timeout time for the hosts. This feature facilitates monitoring and managing member hosts.
