switch to forward the Multicast frames (from a registered Multicast group) only to
ports that are joined to that Multicast group. The switch forwards Multicast frames
(from a registered Multicast group) only to ports that are registered to that
Multicast group.
The Unregistered Multicast Page enables handling Multicast frames that belong
to groups that are not known to the switch (unregistered Multicast groups).
Unregistered Multicast frames are usually forwarded to all ports on the VLAN.
You can select a port to receive or filter unregistered multicast streams. The
configuration is valid for any VLAN of which it is a member (or will be a member).
This feature ensures that the customer receives only the Multicast groups
requested and not others that may be transmitted in the network.
