Assigning Ports to LAGs Using CLI Commands The following table summarizes the equivalent CLI commands for assigning ports to LAGs as displayed in the LAG Membership page. Table 7-73. LAG Membership CLI Commands CLI Command interface port-channel portchannel-number channel-group portchannel-number mode {on | auto} show interfaces port-channel [port-channel-number] Description Enters the interface configuration mode of a specific port-channel. Associates a port with a port-channel. Use the no form of this command to remove the channel-group configuration from the interface. Displays port-channel information. The following is an example of the CLI commands: console# config console(config)# interface ethernet g1 console(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode on console(config-if)# 01-Jan-2000 01:47:18 %LINK-W-Down: ch1 console(config-if)# Multicast Forwarding Support Multicast forwarding allows a single packet to be forwarded to multiple destinations. L2 Multicast service is based on L2 switch receiving a single packet addressed to a specific Multicast address. Multicast forwarding creates copies of the packet, and transmits the packets to the relevant ports. The device supports: • Forwarding L2 Multicast Packets - Enabled by default, and not configurable. NOTE: The system supports Multicast filtering for 63 Multicast groups. • Filtering L2 Multicast Packets - Enables forwarding of Layer 2 packets to interfaces. If Multicast filtering is disabled, Multicast packets are flooded to all relevant ports. To open the Multicast Support page, click Switch→Multicast Support in the tree view.

Assigning Ports to LAGs Using CLI Commands
The following table summarizes the equivalent CLI commands for assigning ports to LAGs as
displayed in the
LAG Membership
page.
The following is an example of the CLI commands:
Multicast Forwarding Support
Multicast forwarding allows a single packet to be forwarded to multiple destinations. L2 Multicast
service is based on L2 switch receiving a single packet addressed to a specific Multicast address.
Multicast forwarding creates copies of the packet, and transmits the packets to the relevant ports.
The device supports:
Forwarding L2 Multicast Packets
— Enabled by default, and not configurable.
Filtering L2 Multicast Packets
— Enables forwarding of Layer 2 packets to interfaces. If
Multicast filtering is disabled, Multicast packets are flooded to all relevant ports.
To open the
Multicast Support
page, click
Switch
