◆
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 normally
be configured as a member of the MVR VLAN. IGMP snooping can also
be used to allow a receiver port to dynamically join or leave multicast
groups not sourced through the MVR VLAN.
◆
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 MVR protocol or which have been
command.
◆
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 using the
command.
