Multicast VLAN Registration for IPv4
• Upstream Source IP – The source IP address assigned to all MVR control packets sent
upstream on the specified domain. By default, all MVR reports sent upstream use a null source
IP address.
Interface
To configure settings for an MVR domain:
1. Click Multicast, MVR.
2. Select Configure Domain from the Step list.
3. Select a domain from the scroll-down list.
4. Enable MVR for the selected domain, select the MVR VLAN, set the forwarding priority to be
assigned to all ingress multicast traffic, and set the source IP address for all control packets
sent upstream as required.
5. Click Apply.

Configuring MVR Group Address Profiles
Use the Multicast > MVR (Configure Profile and Associate Profile) pages to assign the multicast
group address for required services to one or more MVR domains.

Command Usage
• Use the Configure Profile page to statically configure all multicast group addresses that will join
the MVR VLAN. Any multicast data associated with an MVR group is sent from all source ports
to all receiver ports that have registered to receive data from that multicast group.
• The IP address range from 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.
• IGMP snooping and MVR share a maximum number of 1023 groups. Any multicast streams
received in excess of this limitation will be flooded to all ports in the associated domain.
