Configuring MVR6 Interface Status
Use the Multicast > MVR6 (Configure Interface) page to configure each interface that participates
in the MVR6 protocol as a source port or receiver port. If you are sure that only one subscriber
attached to an interface is receiving multicast services, you can enable the immediate leave
function.

Command Usage
•
A port configured as an MVR6 receiver or source port can join or leave multicast groups
configured under MVR6.
•
Receiver ports can belong to different VLANs, but should not be configured as a member of the
MVR6 VLAN. MVR6 allows a receiver port to dynamically join or leave multicast groups within
an MVR6 VLAN. Multicast groups can also be statically assigned to a receiver port (see
“Assigning Static MVR Multicast Groups to Interfaces”
Receiver ports should not be statically configured as a member of the MVR6 VLAN. If so
configured, its MVR6 status will be inactive. Also, note that VLAN membership for MVR6
receiver ports cannot be set to access mode (see
“Adding Static Members to VLANs”
•
One or more interfaces may be configured as MVR6 source ports. A source port is able to both
receive and send data for configured MVR6 groups or for groups which have been statically
assigned (see
“Assigning Static MVR Multicast Groups to Interfaces”
All source ports must belong to the MVR6 VLAN.
Subscribers should not be directly connected to source ports.
•
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.
•
Immediate leave does not apply to multicast groups which have been statically assigned to
a port.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
•
Domain ID – An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)
•
Port/Trunk – Interface identifier.
•
Type – The following interface types are supported:
•
Non-MVR6 – An interface that does not participate in the MVR6 VLAN. (This is the default
type.)
•
Source – An uplink port that can send and receive multicast data for the groups assigned
to the MVR6 VLAN. Note that the source port must be manually configured as a member of
the MVR6 VLAN (see
