Configuring the MAC Address Table

Multicast Address

A multicast is a special form of broadcast where copies of a packet are

delivered to a specific group of end stations. This differs from a

broadcast, which is a transmission that sends copies of a packet to all

end stations on the network.

A multicast address is a destination address. Configuring a multicast

address allows you to restrict certain packets to a specific group of ports.

For example, you might use this feature to restrict the number of end

stations that are to receive packets from a server running special

applications.

You can configure ten multicast addresses per switch.
