MVR for IPv6
MVR for IPv6
This section describes commands used to configure Multicast VLAN Registration for IPv6 (MVR6). A
single network-wide VLAN can be used to transmit multicast traffic (such as television channels)
across a service provider’s network. Any multicast traffic entering an MVR VLAN is sent to all
subscribers. This can significantly reduce to processing overhead required to dynamically monitor
and establish the distribution tree for a normal multicast VLAN. Also note that MVR maintains the
user isolation and data security provided by VLAN segregation by passing only multicast traffic into
other VLANs to which the subscribers belong.
TABLE 116 show mvr statistics query - display description
Field Description
Querier IP Address The IP address of the querier on this interface.
Querier Expire Time The time after which this querier is assumed to have expired.
General Query Received The number of general queries received on this interface.
General Query Sent The number of general queries sent from this interface.
Specific Query Received The number of specific queries received on this interface.
Specific Query Sent The number of specific queries sent from this interface.
Number of Reports Sent The number of reports sent from this interface.
Number of Leaves Sent The number of leaves sent from this interface.
TABLE 117 Multicast VLAN Registration for IPv6 Commands
Command Function Mode
mvr6 associated-profile Binds the MVR group addresses specified in a profile to an MVR
domain
GC
mvr6 domain Enables MVR for a specific domain GC
mvr6 profile Maps a range of MVR group addresses to a profile GC
mvr6 proxy-switching Enables MVR proxy switching, where the source port acts as a host,
and the receiver port acts as an MVR router with querier service
enabled
GC
mvr6 robustness-value Configures the expected packet loss, and thereby the number of times
to generate report and group-specific queries
GC
mvr6 upstream-source-ip Configures the source IP address assigned to all control packets sent
upstream
GC
mvr6 vlan Specifies the VLAN through which MVR multicast data is received GC
mvr6 immediate-leave Enables immediate leave capability IC
mvr6 type Configures an interface as an MVR receiver or source port IC
mvr6 vlan group Statically binds a multicast group to a port IC
show mvr6 Shows information about MVR domain settings, including MVR
operational status, the multicast VLAN, the current number of group
addresses, and the upstream source IP address
