Configuring MVR6
Interface Status
Use the Multicast > MVR6 (Configure Interface) page to configure each interface
that participates in the MVR6 protocol as a source port or receiver port. If you are
sure that only one subscriber attached to an interface is receiving multicast
services, you can enable the immediate leave function.
Command Usage
A port configured as an MVR6 receiver or source port can join or leave multicast
groups configured under MVR6. A port which is not configured as an MVR
receiver or source port can use MLD snooping to join or leave multicast groups
using the standard rules for multicast filtering (see “MLD Snooping (Snooping
and Query for IPv6)” on page 603).
Receiver ports can belong to different VLANs, but should not be configured as a
member of the MVR6 VLAN. MVR6 allows a receiver port to dynamically join or
leave multicast groups sourced through the MVR6 VLAN. Multicast groups can
also be statically assigned to a receiver port (see Assigning Static MVR
Multicast Groups to Interfaces” on page 629).
Receiver ports should not be statically configured as a member of the MVR6
VLAN. If so configured, its MVR6 status will be inactive. Also, note that VLAN
membership for MVR6 receiver ports cannot be set to access mode (see“Adding
Static Members to VLANs” on page 173).
One or more interfaces may be configured as MVR6 source ports. A source port
is able to both receive and send data for configured MVR6 groups or for groups
which have been statically assigned (see Assigning Static MVR Multicast
Groups to Interfaces” on page 629).
All source ports must belong to the MVR6 VLAN.
Subscribers should not be directly connected to source ports.
Immediate leave applies only to receiver ports. When enabled, the receiver port
is immediately removed from the multicast group identified in the leave
message. When immediate leave is disabled, the switch follows the standard
rules by sending a group-specific query to the receiver port and waiting for a
