MVR for IPv4
• 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 assigned through the
mvr vlan group 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
mvr vlan group command.
Example
The following configures one source port and several receiver ports on the switch.
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
Console(config-if)#mvr domain 1 type source
Console(config-if)#exit
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/6
Console(config-if)#mvr domain 1 type receiver
Console(config-if)#exit
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/7
Console(config-if)#mvr domain 1 type receiver
Console(config-if)#
mvr vlan group
This command statically binds a multicast group to a port which will receive long-term multicast
streams associated with a stable set of hosts. Use the no form to restore the default settings.
Syntax
[no] mvr [domain domain-id] vlan vlan-id group ip-address
domain-id - An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)
vlan-id - Receiver VLAN to which the specified multicast traffic is flooded. (Range: 1-4093)
group - Defines a multicast service sent to the selected port.
ip-address - Statically configures an interface to receive multicast traffic from the IPv4
address specified for an MVR multicast group. (Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255)
Default Setting
No receiver port is a member of any configured multicast group.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
• Multicast groups can be statically assigned to a receiver port using this command.
• 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 using
the
mvr vlan group command.
• The MVR VLAN cannot be specified as the receiver VLAN for static bindings.
