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 3-175).

•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.
