Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group. Host groups for IPv4 multicast are
identified by class D addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Host
groups for IPv6 multicast are identified by the prefix ff00::/8.
View, search, or clear the MFDB table
The Multicast Forwarding Database (MFDB) holds the port membership information for all
active multicast address entries. The key for an entry consists of a VLAN ID and MAC
address pair. Entries can contain data for more than one protocol.
To view, search, or clear the MFDB table:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
For information about finding the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on
page 14.

If you did not yet register the switch with your NETGEAR account, the Register to unlock
all features page displays. For more information, see
