Assigning Static Multicast Groups to Interfaces

For multicast streams that will run for a long term and be associated with a stable set
of hosts, you can statically bind the multicast group to the participating interfaces.
Command Usage
Any multicast groups that use the MVR VLAN must be statically assigned to it
under the MVR Configuration menu (see"Configuring Global MVR Settings" on
page 3-224).
The IP address range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 is used for multicast
streams. MVR group addresses cannot fall within the reserved IP multicast
address range of 224.0.0.x.
Command Attributes
Interface – Indicates a port or trunk.
Member – Shows the IP addresses for MVR multicast groups which have been
statically assigned to the selected interface.
Non-Member – Shows the IP addresses for all MVR multicast groups which have
not been statically assigned to the selected interface.
Web – Click MVR, Group Member Configuration. Select a port or trunk from the
“Interface” field, and click Query to display the assigned multicast groups. Select a
multicast address from the displayed lists, and click the Add or Remove button to
modify the Member list.
