When the video server sends multicast data to group 225.1.1.1, Port 1

participates and receives multicast traffic, but Port 2 does not participate

because it is a member of a different multicast group. Without IGMP

snooping, all ports that are members of VLAN 100 would be flooded with

traffic for all multicast groups, which would greatly increase the amount of

traffic on the switch.

Configuring MVR

In this example, ports 1, 2, 8, and 9 are connected to hosts that occasionally

request multicast data by sending IGMP join requests. These ports are

configured as MVR receiver ports so that they can be treated as members of

VLAN 99, the multicast VLAN, to receive multicast traffic.
Ports 1 and 2 are members of VLAN 10, and ports 8 and 9 are members of

VLAN 20. Port 24 connects the switch to the rest of the LAN, including the

multicast router.
The switch is configured to operate in MVR dynamic mode. This mode allows

port 24, the MVR source port, to dynamically join the multicast group by

sending an IGMP join message tagged with the MVR VLAN to the multicast

router. In MVR compatible mode, the source port does not send IGMP join

requests to the multicast router. When the switch operates in dynamic MVR

mode, the multicast router does not need to be statically configured on the

source port to receive the multicast data stream.
