satisfied. (Running status is true as long as MVR Status is enabled, and the

specified MVR VLAN exists.)

MVR VLAN

Identifier of the VLAN that serves as the channel for streaming multicast services

using MVR. MVR source ports should be configured as members of the

MVR VLAN (see “Adding Static Members to VLANs (VLAN Index)”), but MVR

receiver ports should not be manually configured as members of this VLAN.

Range: 1-4094;

Default: 1

MVR Group IP

IP address for an MVR multicast group. The IP address range of 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.

Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255;

Default: no groups are assigned to the MVR VLAN

Count

The number of contiguous MVR group addresses.

Range: 1-255;

Default: 0

4.9.3.2 MVR Port Configuration

Each interface that participates in the MVR VLAN must be configured as an MVR source port or receiver port. If only one

subscriber attached to an interface is receiving multicast services, you can enable the immediate leave function.

Command Usage

• A port which is not configured as an MVR receiver or source port can use IGMP snooping to join or leave multicast groups

using the standard rules for multicast filtering.

• Receiver ports can belong to different VLANs, but should not be configured as a member of the MVR VLAN. IGMP snooping

can be used to allow a receiver port to dynamically join or leave multicast groups within an MVR VLAN. Multicast groups can

also be statically assigned to a receiver port (see “Assigning Static Multicast Groups to Interfaces”). However, if a receiver

port is statically configured as a member of an MVR VLAN, its MVR status will be inactive. Also, note that VLAN membership

for MVR receiver ports cannot be set to trunk mode (see “Configuring VLAN Behavior for Interfaces”).

• One or more interfaces may be configured as MVR source ports. A source port is able to both receive and send data for

multicast groups which it has joined through IGMP snooping or which have been statically assigned (see “Assigning Static

Multicast Groups to Interfaces”).

• Immediate leave applies only to receiver ports. When enabled, the receiver port is immediately removed from the multicast

group identified in the leave message. When immediate leave is disabled, the switch follows the standard rules by sending a

group-specific query to the receiver port and waiting for a response to determine if there are any remaining subscribers for

that multicast group before removing the port from the group list.

-

Using immediate leave can speed up leave latency, but should only be enabled on a port attached to one multicast

subscriber to avoid disrupting services to other group members attached to the same interface.
