Multicast VLAN Registration for IPv4

Assigning Static MVR Multicast Groups to Interfaces
Use the Multicast > MVR (Configure Static Group Member) page to statically bind multicast groups
to a port which will receive long-term multicast streams associated with a stable set of hosts.
CLI References
• “mvr vlan group” on page 483
Command Usage
• Multicast groups can be statically assigned to a receiver port using this configuration page.
• 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.
• Only IGMP version 2 or 3 hosts can issue multicast join or leave messages. If MVR must be
configured for an IGMP version 1 host, the multicast groups must be statically assigned.
• The MVR VLAN cannot be specified as the receiver VLAN for static bindings.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
• Domain ID – An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)
• Interface – Port or trunk identifier.
• VLAN – VLAN identifier. (Range: 1-4093)
