Configuring MVR Global Parameters
You do not need to set the optional MVR parameters if you choose to use the default settings. If you do
want to change the default parameters (except for the MVR VLAN), you must first enable MVR.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to confi gure M VR pa ra mete rs:
Table11-5 Default MVR Configuration
Feature Default Setting
MVR Disabled globally and per interface
Multicast addresses None configured
Query response time 0.5 second
Multicast VLAN VLAN 1
Mode Compatible
Interface (per port) default Neither a receiver nor a source port
Immediate Leave Disabled on all ports
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 mvr Enable MVR on the switch.
Step3 mvr group ip-address [count] Configure an IP multicast address on the switch or use the count parameter to
configure a contiguous series of MVR group addresses (the range for count is
1 to 256; the default is 1). Any multicast data sent to this address is sent to all
source ports on the switch and all receiver ports that have elected to receive
data on that multicast address. Each multicast address would correspond to
one television channel.
Note Each IP address translates to a multicast 48-bit MAC address. If an IP
address being configured translates (aliases) to a previously
configured MAC address or to any reserved multicast MAC
addresses, the command fails.
Step4 mvr querytime value (Optional) Define the maximum time to wait for IGMP report memberships
on a receiver port before removing the port from multicast group membership.
The value is in units of tenths of a secon d. Th e range is from 1 to 100 and the
default is 5 tenths or one-half second.
Step5 mvr vlan vlan-id (Optional) Specify the VLAN in which multicast data is received; all source
ports must belong to this VLAN. The VLAN range is 1 to 1001.
The default is VLAN 1.
