SAGE

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 normally

be configured as a member of the MVR VLAN. IGMP snooping can also

be used to allow a receiver port to dynamically join or leave multicast

groups not sourced through the MVR VLAN.

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 the MVR protocol or which have been

assigned through the

mvr vlan group

command.

Only IGMP version 2 or 3 hosts can issue multicast join or leave

messages. If MVR must be configured for an IGMP version 1 host, the

multicast groups must be statically assigned using the

mvr vlan group

command.
