Manage blocking of unknown multicast addresses As a way to limit unnecessary multicast traffic, you can block multicast traffic from unknown multicast addresses.

By default, multicast traffic from unknown addresses is allowed. To manage blocking of unknown multicast addresses: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable. 2.
