mvr (Global Configuration)

This command enables Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) globally on the switch,
statically configures MVR multicast group IP address(es) using the group keyword,
specifies the MVR VLAN identifier using the vlan keyword, or permits the use of
tagged multicast traffic using the receiver-group and receiver-vlan attributes. Use
the no form of this command without any keywords to globally disable MVR, the no
form with the group keyword to remove a specific address or range of addresses,
the no form with the vlan keyword restore the default MVR VLAN, the no form with
the receiver-group keyword to remove a specific address, or the no form with the
receiver-vlan keyword to disable this feature.

Syntax

[no] mvr [group ip-address [count] | vlan vlan-id |

receiver-group ip-address | receiver-vlan vlan-id]

group - Defines a multicast service sent to all attached subscribers.
ip-address - IP address for an MVR multicast group.

(Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255)

count - The number of contiguous MVR group addresses. (Range: 1-255)
vlan - Specifies the VLAN through which MVR multicast data is received.

This is also the VLAN to which all source ports must be assigned.

vlan-id - MVR VLAN ID (Range: 1-4094)
receiver-group - Specifies groups to be managed through the receiver

VLAN.

receiver-vlan - Allows multicast traffic to be forwarded from the specified

receiver VLAN without revealing the identity of the MVR VLAN in tagged
frames.

Default Setting

• MVR is disabled.
• No MVR group address is defined.
• The default number of contiguous addresses is 0.
• MVR VLAN ID is 1.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

• Use the mvr group command to statically configure all multicast group

addresses that will join the MVR VLAN. Any multicast data associated an
MVR group is sent from all source ports, and to all receiver ports that have
registered to receive data from that multicast group.

• 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.

• MVR source ports can be configured as members of the MVR VLAN using the

switchport allowed vlan command (page 4-304) and switchport native
