DESCRIPTION

 

Mode

Specify the MVR mode on the switch. Choices are Dynamic and Compatible.

 

 

Select Dynamic to send IGMP reports to all MVR source ports in the multicast

 

 

VLAN.

 

 

Select Compatible to set the switch not to send IGMP reports.

 

 

 

 

Port

This field displays the port number on the switch.

 

 

 

 

*

Settings in this row apply to all ports.

 

 

Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this

 

 

row first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port

 

 

basis.

 

 

Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you

 

 

make them.

 

 

 

 

Source Port

This field is applicable for Ethernet ports.

 

 

Select this option to set this port as the MVR source port that sends and receives

 

 

multicast traffic. All source ports must belong to a single multicast VLAN.

 

 

 

 

Receiver Port

Select this option to set this port as a receiver port that only receives multicast

 

 

traffic. A receiver port cannot belong to a multicast VLAN.

 

 

 

 

None

Select this option to set the port not to participate in MVR. No MVR multicast traffic

 

 

is sent or received on this port.

 

 

 

 

Tagging

Select this checkbox if you want the port to tag the VLAN ID in all outgoing frames

 

 

transmitted.

 

 

 

 

Add

Click Add to save your changes to the switch’s run-time memory. The switch loses

 

 

these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top

 

 

navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are

 

 

done configuring.

 

 

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to discard all changes.
