This is the multicast mac that has been determined from the IP address
mapping multicast does. Multicast maps the lower 23 bits of an ip address to
a non-unique multicast address. You can search for multicast mac mappings on
CCO.

Hope this helps

Subject: CAM Table config for Multicast

I want to configure a permanent CAM table entry for ports (2/1, 2/2) in vlan
100 for a multicast group 224.10.10.10. The help feature on my cat5000 has
the following command:

set cam <static|permanent> <multicast_mac> <mod/ports..> [vlan]

My question is, what is <multicast_mac>? Is it the mac address of the
router? If it is not how do I detremine it. All I have is just the
multicast IP address.

Thanks
