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 3-290).

• 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.
