forwarding boundary.

By default, no forwarding
boundary is configured.
Configuring static multicast MAC address entries
This feature is available only on the MSR series routers with Ethernet Layer 2 switching interface modules.
For information about the Ethernet Layer 2 switching interface modules, see HP MSR Router Series
Interface Module Guide.
In Layer 2 multicast, multicast MAC address entries can be dynamically created or added through Layer
2 multicast protocols (such as IGMP snooping). You can also manually configure static multicast MAC
address entries to bind multicast MAC addresses and ports to control the destination ports of the multicast
data.
TIP:
• You do not need to enable IP multicast routing before this configuration.
• The multicast MAC address that can be manually configured in the multicast MAC address entry must be
unused. (The least significant bit of the most significant octet is 1.)
You can configure static multicast MAC address entries on the specified interface in system view, or on
the current interface in interface view.
