Blocking multicast on Cat 2950SI

[jan.klicka]

Hello,

I'm currently blocking multicast on a edge port of access switch using "switchport block multicast". The only user of multicast addressing is HSRP, and edge PCs don't need to receive HSRP packets.

This command is supported on Cat 2950 EI and on Cat 29xx XL platform, but not od 2950 SI. Questions:

- do you know, if it will be supported on 2950 SI as well

- can you recommend me some other solution (command or feature) to achieve the same or similar effect on 2950 SI ?

Thanks. Honza Klicka

Honza,

This featrure will not be supported on 2950 SI as this feature is available only on EI. You SI image has only limited fetaures, that's the limitation.

We would have recommended you using the Acls; but that is also not supported on SI.

HTH,
