Multicast MAC Transparency Feature
This feature enables MAC transparency for tunneled multicast, which is needed for some clients to receive multicast packets. Multicasting is an advanced feature and can cause subtle changes in your network. By default, multicasting is disabled. To enable it, use either the multicast-enable command (see example below) or Configuration > Wireless > ESS > Add in the Web UI (see example below).
