3.1 Introduction to Unknown Multicast Dropping

Normally, if the multicast address of multicast data packet received by the switch is not

registered on this switch, this packet will be broadcasted within this VLAN. Whereas

after enabling the unknown multicast dropping feature, when receiving multicast data

packet with unregistered multicast address, the switch will drop this packet. In this way,

the bandwidth is saved, and the efficiency of the system is enhanced.
