A port which is not configured as an MVR receiver or source port can

use IGMP snooping to join or leave multicast groups using the standard

rules for multicast filtering.

Receiver ports can belong to different VLANs, but should not be

configured as a member of the MVR VLAN. IGMP snooping can be used

to allow a receiver port to dynamically join or leave multicast groups

sourced through the MVR VLAN. Also, note that VLAN membership for

MVR receiver ports cannot be set to trunk 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 IGMP snooping or which have been

assigned through the

mvr group

(Global Configuration) command.

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.
