Multicast Filtering Commands 4

mvr (Interface Configuration)

This command configures an interface as an MVR receiver or source port using the type keyword, enables immediate leave capability using the immediate keyword, or configures an interface as a static member of the MVR VLAN using the group keyword. Use the no form to restore the default settings.

Syntax

[no] mvr {type {receiver source} immediate group ip-address}

•receiver - Configures the interface as a subscriber port that can receive multicast data.

•source - Configure the interface as an uplink port that can send and receive multicast data for the configured multicast groups.

•immediate - Configures the switch to immediately remove an interface from a multicast stream as soon as it receives a leave message for that group.

•ip-address- Statically configures an interface to receive multicast traffic from the IP address specified for an MVR multicast group.

(Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255)

Default Setting

•The port type is not defined.

•Immediate leave is disabled.

•No receiver port is a member of any configured multicast group.

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage

•A port which is not configured as an MVR receiver or source port can use IGMP snooping to join or leave multicast groups using the standard rules for multicast filtering.

•MVR receiver ports cannot be members of a trunk. Receiver ports can belong to different VLANs, but should not be configured as a member of the MVR VLAN. IGMP snooping can be used to allow a receiver port to dynamically join or leave multicast groups within the MVR VLAN. Multicast groups can also be statically assigned to a receiver port using the group keyword.

•One or more interfaces may be configured as MVR source ports. A source port is able to both receive and send data for multicast groups which it has joined through IGMP snooping or which have been statically assigned using the group keyword.

•The IP address range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 is used for multicast streams. MVR group addresses cannot fall within the reserved IP multicast address range of 224.0.0.x.

•Immediate leave applies only to receiver ports. When enabled, the receiver port is immediately removed from the multicast group identified in the leave message. When immediate leave is disabled, the switch follows the standard rules by sending a group-specific query to the receiver port and waiting for a
