bridge multicast address
The bridge multicast address Interface Configuration (VLAN) mode command registers a MAC-
layer Multicast address in the bridge table and statically adds ports to the group. Use the no form of
this command to unregister the MAC address.
Syntax
• bridge multicast address { mac-multicast-address | ip-multicast-address }
•
bridge multicast address { mac-multicast-address | ip-multicast-address } [ add | remove ]
{ ethernet interface-list | port-channel port-channel-number-list }
•
no bridge multicast address { mac-multicast-address | ip-multicast-address }
•
add — Adds ports to the group. If no option is specified, this is the default option.
•
remove — Removes ports from the group.
•
mac-multicast-address — A valid MAC Multicast address.
•
ip- multicast-address — A valid IP Multicast address.
•
interface-list — Separate non-consecutive Ethernet ports with a comma and no spaces; a
hyphen is used to designate a range of ports.
•
port-channel-number-list — Separate non-consecutive port-channels with a comma and no
spaces; a hyphen is used to designate a range of ports.
Default Configuration
No Multicast addresses are defined.
Command Mode
Interface configuration (VLAN) mode.
User Guidelines
• If the command is executed without add or remove , the command only registers the group in the
bridge database.
• Static Multicast addresses can only be defined on static VLANs.
Examples
The following example registers the MAC address:
Console(config)# interface vlan 8
Console(config-if)# bridge multicast address 01:00:5e:02:02:03
