Configuring MVR
Default MVR Configuration
Table14-5 shows the default MVR configuration.
MVR Configuration Guidelines and Limitations
Follow these guidelines when configuring MVR:
•Receiver ports cannot be trunk ports. Receiver ports on a switch can be in d ifferent VLANs, but
should not belong to the multicast VLAN.
•The maximum number of multicast entries that can be configured on a switch (that is, the maximum
number of television channels that can be received) is 256.
•Each channel is one multicast stream destined for a unique IP multicast address. Th ese IP addresses
cannot alias between themselves or with the reserved IP multicast addresses (in the
range 224.0.0.xxx).
•MVR does not support IGMPv3 messages.
Note For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this section, see the command
reference for this release.
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 configure MVR parameters:
