Chapter23 Configuring IGMP Snooping and MVR
Configuring MVR
IGMP leave was received. As soon as the leave message is received, the receiver port is removed from
multicast group membership, which speeds up leave latency. Enable the Immediate-Leave feature only
on receiver ports to which a single receiver device is connected.
MVR eliminates the need to duplicate multicast traffic for subscribers in each VLAN. Multicast traffic
for all channels is only sent around the VLAN trunk once— o nly on the mu ltic as t V LAN. Th e IGM P
leave and join messages are in the VLAN to which the subscriber port is assigned. These messages
dynamically register for streams of multicast traffic in the multicast VLAN on the Layer 3 device. The
access layer blade switch modifies the forwarding behav ior to allow the traffic to be forwarded from the
multicast VLAN to the subscriber port in a different VLAN, selectively allowing traff ic to cross between
two VLANs.
IGMP reports are sent to the same IP multicast group address as the multicast data. The blade switch
CPU must capture all IGMP join and leave messages from receiver ports and forward them to the
multicast VLAN of the source (uplink) port, based on the MVR mode.
