Note: The following examples show how to configure the MVR on the

MVR switch (GSM7212P in this case).

Configure MVR in Compatible Mode

In compatible mode, the MVR switch does not learn multicast groups; the groups have to be configured by the operator as the MVR does not forward IGMP reports from the hosts (RP port) to the IGMP router (SP port). To operate in this mode, the IGMP router has to be statically configured to transmit all required multicast streams to the MVR switch.
