General Configuration Guidelines for MVR

1.Enable MVR globally on the switch, select the MVR VLAN, and add the multicast groups that will stream traffic to attached hosts (see “Configuring Global MVR Settings” on page 3-226).

2.Set the interfaces that will join the MVR as source ports or receiver ports (see “Configuring MVR Interface Status” on page 3-229).

3.Enable IGMP Snooping to a allow a subscriber to dynamically join or leave an MVR group (see “Configuring IGMP Snooping and Query Parameters” on page 3-213). Note that only IGMP version 2 or 3 hosts can issue multicast join or leave messages.

4.For multicast streams that will run for a long term and be associated with a stable set of hosts, you can statically bind the multicast group to the participating interfaces (see “Assigning Static Multicast Groups to Interfaces” on page 3-231).

Configuring Global MVR Settings

The global settings for Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) include enabling or disabling MVR for the switch, selecting the VLAN that will serve as the sole channel for common multicast streams supported by the service provider, and assigning the multicast group address for each of these services to the MVR VLAN.

Command Attributes

•MVR Status – When MVR is enabled on the switch, any multicast data associated with an MVR group is sent from all designated source ports, and to all receiver ports that have registered to receive data from that multicast group. (Default: Disabled)
