Multicast VLAN Registration Commands 4

Command Usage

Use the mvr group command to statically configure all multicast group addresses that will join the MVR VLAN. Any multicast data associated an MVR group is sent from all source ports, and to all receiver ports that have registered to receive data from that multicast group.

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.

IGMP snooping must be enabled to a allow a subscriber to dynamically join or leave an MVR group (see ip igmp snooping on page 4-288). Note that only IGMP version 2 or 3 hosts can issue multicast join or leave messages.

Example

The following example enables MVR globally, and configures a range of MVR group addresses:

Console(config)#mvr

Console(config)#mvr group 228.1.23.1 10

Console(config)#

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.
