4.2.14.7 Configure Interface
Switch Management > MVR for IPv4 >Configure Interface page is used to configure each interface that participates in the MVR
protocol as a source port or receiver port.
Domain ID An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)
Port/Group Interface identifier.
Type The following interface types are supported:
Source An uplink port that can send and receive multicast data for the groups assigned to the MVR VLAN. Note
that the source port must be manually configured as a member of the MVR VLAN.
Receiver A subscriber port that can receive multicast data sent through the MVR VLAN. Any port configured as
an receiver port will be dynamically added to the MVR VLAN when it forwards an IGMP report or join message from
an attached host requesting any of the designated multicast services supported by the MVR VLAN. Just remember
that 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.
Non-MVR An interface that does not participate in the MVR VLAN. (This is the default type.)
Forwarding Status Shows if MVR traffic is being forwarded or discarded.
MVR Status Shows the MVR status. MVR status for source ports is “Active” if MVR is globally enabled on the switch. MVR
status for receiver ports is “Active” only if there are subscribers receiving multicast traffic from one of the MVR groups, or a
multicast group has been statically assigned to an interface.
Immediate Leave Configures the switch to immediately remove an interface from a multicast stream as soon as it receives
a leave message for that group. (This option only applies to an interface configured as an MVR receiver.)
