Multicast VLAN Registration for IPv4

Assigning Static MVR Multicast Groups to Interfaces

Use the Multicast > MVR (Configure Static Group Member) page to statically bind multicast groups
to a port which will receive long-term multicast streams associated with a stable set of hosts.

CLI References

“mvr vlan group”

on page 478

Command Usage

Multicast groups can be statically assigned to a receiver port using this configuration page.

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.

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.

The MVR VLAN cannot be specified as the receiver VLAN for static bindings.

Parameters
These parameters are displayed:

Domain ID – An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)

Interface – Port or trunk identifier.

VLAN – VLAN identifier. (Range: 1-4093)

Group IP Address – Defines a multicast service sent to the selected port. Multicast groups
must be assigned from the MVR group range configured on the Configure General page.

1. Click Multicast, MVR.

2. Select Configure Static Group Member from the Step list.

3. Select Add from the Action list.

4. Select an MVR domain.

5. Select a VLAN and interface to receive the multicast stream, and then enter the multicast
