mvr (Interface Configuration)
This command configures an interface as an MVR receiver or source port using the type
keyword, enables immediate leave capability using the immediate keyword, configures
an interface as a static member of the MVR VLAN using the group keyword, or as a static
member of the MVR Receiver VLAN using the static-receiver-group keyword. Use the
no form to restore the default settings, or to remove a static address.
Syntax
[no] mvr {type {receiver | source} | immediate | group ip-address |
static-receiver-group ip-address}
• receiver - Configures the interface as a subscriber port that can receive
multicast data.
• source - Configure the interface as an uplink port that can send and receive
multicast data for the configured multicast groups.
• immediate - Configures the switch to immediately remove an interface from a
multicast stream as soon as it receives a leave message for that group.
• group - Defines a multicast service sent to the selected port.
• ip-address - Statically configures an interface to receive multicast traffic from the
IP address specified for an MVR multicast group.
(Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255)
• static-receiver-group - Statically assigns a multicast reciever group to the
selected interface. Note that the specified multicast service must already be
configured as a receiver group which will managed through the MVR receiver
VLAN (see mvr global configuration command on page 4-331).
Default Setting
• The port type is not defined.
• Immediate leave is disabled.
• No receiver port is a member of any configured multicast group.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
• A port which is not configured as an MVR receiver or source port can use IGMP
snooping to join or leave multicast groups using the standard rules for multicast
filtering.
• Receiver ports can belong to different VLANs, but should not be configured as a
member of the MVR VLAN. IGMP snooping can be used to allow a receiver port to
dynamically join or leave multicast groups within the MVR VLAN. Multicast groups
can also be statically assigned to a receiver port using the group keyword.
However, if a receiver port is statically configured as a member of an MVR VLAN,
its status will be inactive. Also, note that VLAN membership for MVR receiver ports
cannot be set to trunk mode (see the switchport mode command on page 4-244).
