How to Configure IGMP Snooping and MVR
Configuring MVR Interfaces
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 mvr Enables MVR on the switch.
Step 3 mvr group ip-address [count]Configures 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 t hat have elected to receive
data on that multicast address. Each multicast address would correspond to
one television channel.
Step 4 mvr querytime value (Optional) Defines 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 second. The range is 1 to 100, and the
default is 5 tenths or one-half second.
Step 5 mvr vlan vlan-id (Optional) Specifies the VLAN in which multicast data is received; all source
ports must belong to this VLAN. The VLAN range is 1 to 1001 and 1006 to
4096. The default is VLAN 1.
Step 6 mvr mode {dynamic | compatible}(Optional) Specifies the MVR mode of operation:
dynamic—Allows dynamic MVR membership on source ports.
compatible—Is compatible with Catalyst 3500 XL and Catalyst 2900 XL
switches and does not support IGMP dynamic joins on source p orts.
The default is compatible mode.
Step 7 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 mvr Enables MVR on the switch.
Step 3 interface interface-id Specifies the Layer 2 port to configure, and enters interface configuration
mode.
Step 4 mvr type {source | receiver}Configures an MVR port as one of these:
source—Configures uplink ports that receive and send multicast data as
source ports. Subscribers cannot be directly connected to source ports.
All source ports on a switch belong to the single multicast VLAN.
receiver—Configures a port as a receiver port if it is a subscriber port
and should only receive multicast data. It does not receive data unless it
becomes a member of the multicast group, either statically or by using
IGMP leave and join messages. Receiver ports cannot belong to the
multicast VLAN.
The default configuration is as a non-MVR port. If you attempt to configure
a non-MVR port with MVR characteristics, the operation fails.
