Configure a Static Multicast Entry

To configure a static multicast entry for a specified VLAN, you must configure the VLAN prior to attempting to configure the static multicast entry. In addition, you must configure the member ports for that VLAN. In the following example, VLAN 2 is configured in the switch with member port 0/2 and a MAC address of 01:02:03:04:05:06.

1. Configure static multicast entry in the VLAN table.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# vlan 2
   SEFOS(config-vlan)# ports extreme-ethernet 0/2 untagged extreme-ethernet 0/2
   SEFOS(config-vlan)# exit

2. Configure the static multicast MAC address in the forwarding database.

   SEFOS(config)# mac-address-table static multicast 01:02:03:04:05:06 vlan 2 interface extreme-ethernet 0/2
   SEFOS(config)# exit

3. Review the configuration details.

   SEFOS# show mac-address table static multicast
