Usage Information For multicast mode of NLB, to associate an IP address with a multicast MAC address in the switch, use address

resolution protocol (ARP) by entering the arp ip-address multicast-mac-address command in Global

configuration mode. This setting causes the multicast MAC address to be mapped to the cluster IP address for

NLB mode of operation of the switch.

Commands

• clear arp-cache — clear dynamic ARP entries from the ARP table.

• show arp — display the ARP table.

mac-address-table static (for Multicast MAC

Address)

For multicast mode of network load balancing (NLB), configure a static multicast MAC address, associate the multicast MAC address with

the VLAN used to switch Layer 2 multicast traffic, and add output ports that will receive multicast streams on the VLAN. To delete a

configured static multicast MAC address from the MAC address table on the router, enter the no mac-address-table static

multicast-mac-address command.

Syntax

mac-address-table static multicast-mac-address multicast vlan vlan-id range-

output {single-interface | interface-list | interface-range}

To remove a MAC address, use the no mac-address-table static multicast-mac-address

output interface vlan vlan-id command.

Parameters

multicast-mac-

address

Enter the 48-bit hexadecimal address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.

multicast

Enter a vlan port to where L2 multicast MAC traffic is forwarded.

NOTE: Use this option if you want multicast functionality in an L2 VLAN

without IGMP protocols.

output

interface

For a multicast MAC address, enter the keyword output then one of the following

interfaces for which traffic is forwarded:

• For a Port Channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.

• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then

the stack/slot/port/subport information.

• For a 25-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword twentyFiveGigE then the

stack/slot/port/subport information.

• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the stack/

slot/port[/subport] information.

• For a 50-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fiftyGigE then the stack/

slot/port/subport information.

• For a 100-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword hundredGigE then the

stack/slot/port information.

output-range

interface

For a multicast MAC address, enter the keyword output-range then one of the

following interfaces to indicate a range of ports for which traffic is forwarded:
