I am trying to block outgoing multicast traffic on a specific port. The goal is to not flood the network through that one port with any multicast traffic. The following is a procedure we created to achieve this. However it seems that multicast traffic is still coming through. The switch is upgraded with the latest firmware 5.02 and boot-rom 5.01. Is there another way to block multicast that is not shown in the tech manual for the 4500G? Are we leaving out a crucial command? Essentially multicast traffic should be blocked from leaving the switch on that one port. Thank you in advance for the help.
