Multicast VLAN Registration

– 876 –

mvr

This command enables Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) globally on the

switch, statically configures MVR multicast group IP address(es) using the

group keyword, or specifies the MVR VLAN identifier using the vlan

keyword. Use the no form of this command without any keywords to

globally disable MVR. Use the no form with the group keyword to remove

a specific address or range of addresses. Or use the no form with the vlan

keyword to restore the default MVR VLAN.

group - Defines a multicast service sent to all attached subscribers.
ip-address - IP address for an MVR multicast group.

(Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255)
count - The number of contiguous MVR group addresses.

(Range: 1-1024)
vlan - Specifies the VLAN through which MVR multicast data is

received. This is also the VLAN to which all source ports must be

assigned.
vlan-id - MVR VLAN ID (Range: 1-4093)

Use the mvr group command to statically configure all multicast group

addresses that will join the MVR VLAN. Any multicast data associated

an MVR group is sent from all source ports, and to all receiver ports

that have registered to receive data from that multicast group.

The IP address range from 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.

MVR source ports can be configured as members of the MVR VLAN

using the

switchport allowed vlan

command and

switchport native vlan

command, but MVR receiver ports should not be statically configured as

members of this VLAN.

IGMP snooping must be enabled to a allow a subscriber to dynamically

join or leave an MVR group (see the

ip igmp snooping

command). Note

that only IGMP version 2 or 3 hosts can issue multicast join or leave

messages.
