Provided are a method and apparatus for blocking forged multicast packets. The apparatus includes input and output ports connected to user terminals; a forwarding process unit transferring a frame input through one of the input ports to one of the output ports connected to a user terminal having a destination address; a determination unit determining an address of a user terminal connected to one of the input ports from a source address included in the frame; a filtering database storing information on the output port connected to the user terminal having the destination address of the frame based on information received from the determination unit; a multicast gate information unit including information on multicast media access control (MAC) addresses of frames providing a monodirectional multicast service and blocking or forwarding all frames having a corresponding multicast MAC address as the destination address by checking whether the input and output ports are connected to an Internet group management protocol (IGMP) querier or not; and a port information transference unit learning the multicast MAC address of the IGMP querier connected to the apparatus, obtaining information on a port having the multicast MAC address as the destination address from the filtering database, and transferring the information to the multicast gate information unit. According to the present application, forged traffic is blocked from being multicasted and thus restricted resources of a network are prevented from being wasted. As a result, the network may be used more efficiently in an industrial field.
