11 - 4 Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge
This same display may also be produced with the “association display”
command with either the “all” or “multicast-filters” information. See
Chapter 10 “Setting Up the Association Table”.
Adding A Multicast Filter (Add)
Use the add option to add a multicast filter if there are special multicast
addresses you want to filter differently than the default. You will first be
prompted for the address and then for an action to be applied to this
address only.
Removing a Filter (Remove)
Use the remove option to remove one or all of the non-default filters.
The action for the removed entries will revert to the default action.
Filtering Radio Multicasts (Radio_Mcast)
If you know that the radio nodes are not going to communicate with
each other, but will only communicate with nodes on the wired LAN, set
this parameter to “lan_only”. With this setting multicasts received from
the radio nodes are not re-broadcast to the radio cell but are forwarded
to the wired LAN.
For example, if you have a system with a large number of radio clients
which only talk to the network server, enabling multicast filtering will
result in much less radio traffic congestion.
If the parameter is left at the default setting of “everywhere”, then radio
nodes may broadcast to each other.
