Forwarding Multicast Addresses
A packet with a RIF, indicated by a source address with the multicast
bit turned on, is not usually forwarded. However, you can configure
bridging support to allow the forwarding of frames that would otherwise
be discarded because they have a RIF. Although you can forward these
frames, the bridge table will not be updated to include the source
addresses of these frames.
To forward frames with multicast addresses, use the following command in
global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
bridge bridge-group
multicast-source
Allows the forwarding of frames with multicast source addresses.
