# multicast

#### Syntax

multicast { permit | deny }

no multicast

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

Modifies the subscriber policy for the multicast protocol to define whether the subscriber (client) interfaces that belong to a bridge group or to a VPLS instance forward (permit) or filter (deny) multicast packets. The no version restores the default value, permit multicast packets.

You cannot change the default subscriber policy values for trunk (server) interfaces that belong to a bridge group or to a VPLS instance. You also cannot change the default subscriber policy values for a VPLS virtual core interface, which acts as a trunk interface. The VPLS virtual core interface represents all of the MPLS tunnels from the router to the remote VPLS edge (VE) devices.

#### Options

- permit—Specifies that the subscriber interface associated with the bridge group or VPLS instance forwards multicast packets
- deny—Specifies that the subscriber interface associated with the bridge group or VPLS instance filters multicast packets

#### Mode
