If you choose to block multicast traffic on one or more ports, you can select one, several, or all of these multicast address ranges. To configure the multicast mode for one or more ports: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login page displays. 3. In the Login Name field, enter admin as the user name, in the Password field, enter your local device password, and click the AV UI Login button.

multicast address ranges.
