Chapter 22 | Multicast Filtering Commands
MVR for IPv6
– 697 –
mvr6 type This command configures an interface as an MVR6 receiver or source port. Use the
no form to restore the default settings.
Syntax
[no] mvr6 domain domain-id type {receiver | source}
domain-id - An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)
receiver - Configures the interface as a subscriber port that can receive
multicast data.
source - Configures the interface as an uplink port that can send and
receive multicast data for the configured multicast groups. Note that the
source port must be manually configured as a member of the MVR6 VLAN
using the switchport allowed vlan command.
Default Setting
The port type is not defined.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
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 MVR6
receiver or source port can use MLD snooping to join or leave multicast groups
using the standard rules for multicast filtering (see “MLD Snooping” on
page 641).
◆ Receiver ports can belong to different VLANs, but should not be configured as a
member of the MVR6 VLAN. MLD snooping can be used to allow a receiver port
to dynamically join or leave multicast groups not sourced through the MVR6
VLAN. Also, note that VLAN membership for MVR receiver ports cannot be set
to access 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 the MVR6 protocol or which have been assigned through the mvr6
vlan group command.
All source ports must belong to the MVR6 VLAN.
Subscribers should not be directly connected to source ports.
◆ The same port cannot be configured as a source port in one MVR6 domain and
as a receiver port in another domain.
