Multicast Filtering

Multicast Filtering is used to filter multicast packets destined for devices that are not members of IGMP groups. To know more about IGMP group membership refer to the IGMP Snooping section.

If Multicast Filtering is enabled but IGMP snooping is disabled, all the multicast packets are dropped.

Select whether to enable or disable the Multicast Filtering function.
