Hi,
I wanted to implement multicasting between two cisco 2950-24T switches.
Can someone provide required configuration for this?

Hi SKRAO,
2950 is a pure layer 2 switch so it will simply forward all multicast traffic as broadcast if IGMP snooping is not implemented.
If you implement IGMP snooping multicast traffic will be only passed to required ports which want to receive multicast traffic.
So there is not much and special configuration which can be done on 2950 for multicasting other than IGMP snooping.
Have a look at this link

Hi Ankur,
I have 5 servers connected to one 2950-24T switch.
Another 5 servers are connected to another 2950-24T switch.
I wanted to enable Multicasting between only these two switches.

Hi SKRAO,
As I updated 2950 is a layer 2 switch and by default nothing need to be configured for passing the multicast traffic. All multicast traffic is treated as broadcast traffic by default if IGMP snooping is not configured.
If you have clients sitting on same switch they will receive all multicast traffic without any special configuration.
