MVR for IPv6

23

Default Setting

The port type is not defined.

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

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
MVR VLAN. Also, note that VLAN membership for MVR receiver ports cannot be set to access
mode (see the

switchport mode

command).

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 MVR6 protocol or
which have been assigned through the

mvr6 vlan group

command.

All source ports must belong to the MVR6 VLAN.
Subscribers should not be directly connected to source ports.

The same port cannot be configured as a source port in one MVR domain and as a receiver
port in another domain.

Example

The following configures one source port and several receiver ports on the switch.

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5

Console(config-if)#mvr6 domain 1 type source

Console(config-if)#exit

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/6

Console(config-if)#mvr6 domain 1 type receiver

Console(config-if)#exit

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/7

Console(config-if)#mvr6 domain 1 type receiver

Console(config-if)#

mvr6 vlan group

This command statically binds a multicast group to a port which will receive long-term multicast
streams associated with a stable set of hosts. Use the no form to restore the default settings.

Syntax

[no] mvr6 domain domain-id vlan vlan-id group ip-address

domain-id - An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)

vlan-id - Receiver VLAN to which the specified multicast traffic is flooded. (Range: 1-4093)

group - Defines a multicast service sent to the selected port.

ip-address - Statically configures an interface to receive multicast traffic from the IPv6
address specified for an MVR multicast group. This parameter must be a full IPv6 address
including the network prefix and host address bits.
