Multicast NLB Mode
To enable a switch for multicast NLB mode of functioning, perform the following steps:
1. In the multicast mode of NLB, add a static ARP entry by entering the arp ip-address multicast-mac-address
command in Global configuration mode to associate an IP address with a multicast MAC address in the switch. This setting
causes the multicast MAC address to be mapped to the cluster IP address for the NLB mode of operation of the switch.
INTERFACE mode
arp ip-address multicast-mac-address interface
2. Associate specific MAC or hardware addresses to VLANs.
CONFIGURATION mode
mac-address-table static multicast-mac-address vlan vlan-id output-range interface
