Displaying MVR Information
Displaying MVR Information
You can display MVR information for the switch or for a specified interface. Beginning in privileged
EXEC mode, use the commands in Tabl e 23-6 to display MVR configuration:
Configuring IGMP Filtering and Throttling
In some environments, for example, metropolitan or multiple-dwelling unit (MDU) installations, you
might want to control the set of multicast groups to which a user on a switch port can belong. You can
control the distribution of multicast services, such as IP/TV, based on some type of subscription or
service plan. You might also want to limit the number of multicast groups to which a user on a switch
port can belong.
With the IGMP filtering feature, you can filter multicast joins on a per-port basis by configuring IP
multicast profiles and associating them with individual switch ports. An IGMP profile can contain one
or more multicast groups and specifies whether access to the group is permitted or denied. If an IGMP
profile denying access to a multicast group is applied to a switch port, the IGMP join report requesting
the stream of IP multicast traffic is dropped, and the port is not allowed to receive IP multicast traffic
from that group. If the filtering action permits access to the multicast group, the IGMP report from the
port is forwarded for normal processing. You can also set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a
Layer 2 interface can join.
IGMP filtering controls only group-specific query and membership reports, including join and leave
reports. It does not control general IGMP queries. IGMP filtering has no relationship with the function
that directs the forwarding of IP multicast traffic. The filtering feature operates in the same manner
whether CGMP or MVR is used to forward the multicast traffic.
Tab l e 23-6 Commands for Displaying MVR Information
Command Purpose
show mvr Displays MVR status and values for the switch—whether MVR is enabled or disabled,
the multicast VLAN, the maximum (256) and current (0 through 256) number of
multicast groups, the query response time, and the MVR mode.
show mvr interface [interface-id]
[members [vlan vlan-id]]
Displays all MVR interfaces and their MVR configurations.
When a specific interface is entered, displays this information:
• Type—Receiver or Source
• Status—One of these:
–
Active means the port is part of a VLAN.
–
Up/Down means that the port is forwarding or nonforwarding.
–
Inactive means that the port is not part of any VLAN.
• Immediate Leave—Enabled or Disabled
If the members keyword is entered, displays all multicast group members on this port or,
if a VLAN identification is entered, all multicast group members on the VLAN. The
VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094.
show mvr members [ip-address]Displays all receiver and source ports that are members of any IP multicast group or the
specified IP multicast group IP address.
