JGS516 MAC Address Handling

I intend to use a JGS516 switch in a LAN with custom devices that have unusual MAC addresses. The least significant bits of the first byte are 11, and the EUI-48 specification indicates that some network devices will interpret these bits as multicast and locally administered. Will this switch block a MAC address that indicates it is multicast?
