multicast-mask

Configures an egress prioritization multicast mask for this WLAN QoS policy

Normally all multicast and broadcast packets are buffered until the periodic DTIM interval (indicated in the 802.11 beacon frame), when clients in power save mode wake to check for frames. However, for certain applications and traffic types, the administrator may want the frames transmitted immediately, without waiting for the DTIM interval. By configuring a primary or secondary prioritization multicast mask, the network administrator can indicate which packets are transmitted immediately.

Supported on the following devices:

Access Points: AP3000/X, AP5010, AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8533.
Service Platforms: NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600
Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000

Syntax

multicast-mask [primary|secondary] <MAC/MASK>

Parameters

multicast-mask [primary|secondary] <MAC/MASK>


primary <MAC/MASK>	Configures the primary egress prioritization multicast mask <MAC/MASK> – Sets the MAC address and the mask in the AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF/XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX format Note: Setting masks is optional and only needed if there are traffic types requiring special handling.
secondary <MAC/MASK>	Configures the primary egress prioritization multicast mask <MAC/MASK> – Sets the MAC address and the mask in the AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF / XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX format
