200 CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING WX SYSTEM AND ADMINISTRATIVE PARAMETERS
Configuring Static Multicast Ports
A WX learns about multicast routers and receivers from multicast traffic
received from those devices. When the WX receives traffic from a
multicast router or receiver, the WX adds the port that received the traffic
as a multicast router or receiver port. The WX forwards traffic to multicast
routers only on the multicast router ports and forwards traffic to
multicast receivers only on the multicast receiver ports.
The router and receiver ports that the WX learns based on multicast
traffic age out if they are unused. If necessary, you can statically
configure multicast router ports or multicast receiver ports on the WX.
You can only add network ports as static multicast router ports or
multicast receiver ports. Ports you add are immediately added to the list
and do not age out.
You cannot add MAP ports or wired authentication ports as static
multicast ports. However, MSS can dynamically add these port types to
the list of multicast ports based on multicast traffic.
To add or remove static multicast router and receiver ports:
1 In the Create VLAN wizard, click Member IGMP Setup. The Member
IGMP Setup page appears.
2 To add a static multicast receiver port, select the Forward Multicast IP
Out checkbox for each port you want to add.
By default, ports are not selected. To remove a static multicast receiver
port, clear the checkbox.
3 To add a multicast router port, select the Multicast Router Present
checkbox for each port you want to add.
By default, ports are not selected. To remove a static multicast receiver
port, clear the checkbox.
4 Do one of the following:
 To configure the MSS DHCP server, click Next to display the DHCP
Server page. (See the next section, “Configuring the MSS DHCP
Server”.)
 To close the wizard and save the changes, click Finish.
