These parameters are displayed:
◆
MVR Status – When MVR is enabled on the switch, any multicast data
associated with an MVR group is sent from all designated source ports,
to all receiver ports that have registered to receive data from that
multicast group. (Default: Disabled)
◆
MVR VLAN – Identifier of the VLAN that serves as the channel for
streaming multicast services using MVR. MVR source ports should be
configured as members of the MVR VLAN (see
), but MVR receiver ports should not be
manually configured as members of this VLAN. (Default: 1)
◆
MVR Running Status – Indicates whether or not all necessary
conditions in the MVR environment are satisfied. Running status is
Active as long as MVR is enabled, the specified MVR VLAN exists, and a
source port with a valid link has been configured (see
◆
MVR Group IP – IP address for an MVR multicast group.
(Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255; Default: no groups are assigned
to the MVR VLAN)
Any multicast data sent to this address is sent to all source ports on the
switch and all receiver ports that have elected to receive data on that
multicast address.
The IP address range of 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.
◆
