GS724T: How to filter outgoing IPv6 multicast packet to a port?
Hi all, I've got a GS724T switch, with the latest firmware (5.0.3.5) installed. The devices on this switch generate a lot of IPv6 multicast traffic (for distributed database synchronization and ...
It seems that I might be able to do this by setting up a MAC ACL rule to deny all IPv6 packets with destination MAC address 33:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, and binding it to the port that my WiFi access point is attached to. However, the "Mac Binding Configuration" page (under Security / ACL in the Web GUI) only allows "Inbound" as a direction, and I think I would need to be able to filter outbound packets (that are on their way to the WiFi AP) not inbound ones.
Am I missing something here, or does the GSM724T simply not support filtering of outgoing packets to a port, and therefore I am out of luck with this switch?
Thanks,
Jeremy
