spaces; a hyphen is used to designate a range of ports.

User Guidelines
• IGMP snooping dynamically discovers multicast router ports. When a multicast router port is
discovered, all the multicast packets are forwarded to it unconditionally.
• This command prevents a port to be a multicast router port.
Example
In this example, forwarding all multicast packets to g6 are forbidden.
bridge aging-time
The bridge aging-time Global Configuration mode command sets the address table aging time. To
restore the default, use the
