Multicast VLAN Registration for IPv4

46

Receiver – A subscriber port that can receive multicast data sent through the MVR VLAN.
Any port configured as an receiver port will be dynamically added to the MVR VLAN when it
forwards an IGMP report or join message from an attached host requesting any of the
designated multicast services supported by the MVR VLAN. Just remember that 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
(see

“Assigning Static MVR Multicast Groups to Interfaces”

on page 1089).

Non-MVR – An interface that does not participate in the MVR VLAN. (This is the default
type.)

Forwarding Status – Shows if MVR traffic is being forwarded or discarded.

MVR Status – Shows the MVR status. MVR status for source ports is “Active” if MVR is globally
enabled on the switch. MVR status for receiver ports is “Active” only if there are subscribers
receiving multicast traffic from one of the MVR groups, or a multicast group has been statically
assigned to an interface.

Immediate Leave – Configures the switch to immediately remove an interface from a multicast
stream as soon as it receives a leave message for that group. (This option only applies to an
interface configured as an MVR receiver.)

Interface

To configure interface settings for MVR:

1. Click Multicast, MVR.

2. Select Configure Interface from the Step list.

3. Select Configure Port or Configure Trunk from the Action list.

4. Select an MVR domain.

5. Set each port that will participate in the MVR protocol as a source port or receiver port, and

optionally enable Immediate Leave on any receiver port to which only one subscriber is
attached.

6. Click Apply.
