Configuring Global MVR Settings
The global settings for Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) include enabling or disabling
MVR for the switch, selecting the VLAN that will serve as the sole channel for common
multicast streams supported by the service provider, and assigning the multicast group
address for each of these services to the MVR VLAN.
Command Usage
IGMP snooping and MVR share a maximum number of 255 groups. Any multicast
streams received in excess of this limitation will be flooded to all ports in the associated
VLAN.
Command Attributes
• MVR Status – When MVR is enabled on the switch, any multicast data associated with
an MVR group is sent from all designated source ports, and to all receiver ports that
have registered to receive data from that multicast group. (Default: Disabled)
• MVR Running Status – Indicates whether or not all necessary conditions in the MVR
environment are satisfied. (Running status is true as long as MVR Status is enabled, and
the specified MVR VLAN exists.)
• MVR VLAN – Identifier of the VLAN that serves as the channel for streaming multicast
services using MVR. MVR source ports should be configured as members of the MVR
VLAN (see “Adding Static Members to VLANs (VLAN Index)” on page 3-186), but MVR
receiver ports should not be manually configured as members of this VLAN. (Range:
1-4094; Default: 1)
• MVR Group IP – IP address for an MVR multicast group. (Range: 224.0.1.0 -
239.255.255.255; Default: no groups are assigned to the MVR VLAN)
The IP address range of 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.
• Count – The number of contiguous MVR group addresses. (Range: 1-255; Default: 0)
