Last modified: 2011-12-06 06:45:46 EST
Description of problem: due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574461 new features supporting multicast was added into bridge. But I found that there is no documatation for brctl command in man pages for multicast operation, short set bellow. So I was unable to use brctl properly with multicast. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bridge-utils-1.2-9.el6 for example these setmclmc <bridge> <int> set multicast last member count setmcrouter <bridge> <int> set multicast router setmcsnoop <bridge> <int> set multicast snooping setmcsqc <bridge> <int> set multicast startup query count setmclmi <bridge> <time> set multicast last member interval setmcmi <bridge> <time> set multicast membership interval setmcqpi <bridge> <time> set multicast querier interval setmcqi <bridge> <time> set multicast query interval setmcqri <bridge> <time> set multicast query response interval setmcqri <bridge> <time> set multicast startup query interval
