MVR Configurations
The MVR (Multicast VLAN Registration) feature enables multicast traffic forwarding on the Multicast
VLANs.
In a multicast television application, a PC, a network television, or a set-top box can receive the
multicast stream. Multiple set-top boxes or PCs can be connected to one subscriber port, which is a
switch port configured as an MVR receiver port. When a subscriber selects a channel, the set-top box
or PC sends an IGMP/MLD report message to Switch A to join the appropriate multicast group
address. Uplink ports that send and receive multicast data to and from the multicast VLAN are called
MVR source ports.
It is allowed to create at maximum 4 MVR VLANs with corresponding channel profile for each
Multicast VLAN.
The channel profile is defined by the IPMC Profile which provides the filtering conditions.

The Unregistered Flooding control depends on the current configuration in IGMP/MLD Snooping.
It is suggested to enable Unregistered Flooding control when the MVR group table is full.
