sh mac-address-table display only mac addess learned by the switch. Multicast
address can't be a src MAC-address of packet consecuently it will never
displayed by command above.
You must use special technology such as RGMP, CGMP, IGMP snooping or manual
configuring to see this information. Without it all multicast traffic spread
across all ports in switch.
