Can you just create a static cam entry for the mst bpdu well-know multicast mac address on each 3750 10 port?

Hi GS:
Here is what I am trying to do. Those of you familiar with scalability testing probably have heard of Ixia - and also know how expensive these boxes are. We are testing the L2Protocol-Tunnel feature in CATOS (there are a few people who still use CATOS). Because of the high per-port cost on Ixia, we want to use a single Ixia port, sending MST BPDUs, where it will hit a 3750 Metro and equally balance the BPDUs between ten ports, each connected to a testbed of 6506’s. We either need to cause the switch to flood the packets out all 10 ports or find a way to direct them equally out each port. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance ——– | Ixia | | | |______| / / / |—– —— |3750| | 3750| | | | | —— ——| / / / Ten / Ten / Ports / Ports
